Blessed by a strong alliance with Spain and with an heir at rest in his cradle, what possible misfortune could befall the radiant royal pair, Catherine and Henry?

With Henry’s invasion of France, Queen Catherine was left to defend England against the Scottish King James IV. The stage was set for the Battle of Flodden.

With Catherine striving to mend her marriage in the wake of further sorrow, Meg must similarly endeavor to unite Scotland following the carnage of the battle at Flodden.

Meg throws caution to the wind for love's sake, while Katherine, carrying a child, battles the unsettling suspicion that Henry may be unfaithful.

As the pestilence descended upon London, the royal court sought refuge in Hampton Court, but Maggie and Thomas remained behind, inhabiting the vast palace in a solitude that held a surprising, almost tender beauty.

Against the vibrant tapestry of a significant event in France, a political impasse unfolds between Katherine and Wosley. Meanwhile, unrest simmers and erupts in the streets of London.

A nascent faith takes root, and unease festers within the courts. Katherine finds herself tasked with preventing Henry’s growing paranoia from fracturing alliances and poisoning loyalties.

With Henry’s descent into madness, Katherine finds herself in a precarious position; the man she married has become a danger to her very existence.
