The Tudors, Season II, is set over a 7-year period from the death of the powerful Cardinal Wolsey in 1530 to the execution of Henry VIII’s second wife, Anne Boleyn, in 1536.

We begin the season with a King who has been frustrated by the Vatican at every turn in his bid to annul his marriage to Katherine of Aragon in order to marry the younger Anne Boleyn, his reasons centering on one unshakable ambition: to father a son and heir to the Tudor dynasty inherited by Henry from his father.

But this desire alone is not the whole story.

Henry takes on the Catholic Church at its own game – wielding power and authority – and launches a savage and ultimately bloody bid to be master of his own spiritual as well as secular destiny.
