Synopsis

Having once again found himself without a wife, Henry considered his lineage and initiated a new Act of Parliament. This restored the inheritance rights of his daughters, the Princesses Elizabeth and Mary. His gaze, undimmed by age or past experience, fell upon Catherine Parr, a woman of considerable appeal and soon-to-be widowhood. After the wreckage of his previous marriage, he found himself desiring precisely the kind of seasoned companionship a woman like Catherine could offer.
