Abstract |
Henry VIII of England divorces his first wife, Katharine of Aragon, who has failed to produce a male heir. Instead, he favors the young and beautiful Anne Boleyn. Henry weds Anne and soon she gives him a child. The girl, Elizabeth, is a bitter disappointment to Henry, who desperately wants a male heir. Anne promises Henry a son, but Henry is doubtful. Jane Seymour is at court and Henry's wandering eye has found her. The Queen has her sent away, but, if Anne will bring Jane back to court, the King promises to sign the Act of Succession to insure that Elizabeth will be Queen. Anne's one-thousand-day reign as Queen of England ends with the loss of her head on the block. |
