都铎王朝 第一季

16世纪中叶，英国驻法国大使遭到暗杀，而且死者正是年轻的英国国王亨利八世（乔纳森•莱斯•梅耶斯 Jonathan Rhys Meyers 饰）的叔叔。这让国王极为愤怒，立刻召集大臣，准备兵发法兰西。不过，红衣主教沃尔金（山姆•尼尔 Sam Neill 饰）权衡各方利益，并不赞成英法交战。因此，他想方设法，让英王、法王通过协商解决了此事。由于王后凯瑟琳只为亨利八世生下了一个女儿，这让她逐渐失宠。亨利八世一直对此耿耿于怀，并在宫廷之内寻欢作乐。不过，真正令亨利八世动心的却是一名叫安•博林（娜塔莉•多默尔 Natalie Dormer 饰）的女侍官，后者美艳动人，丰满妖娆，使得他几近疯狂。为了能够明媒正娶，亨利八世跟主教沃尔金密谋，要与王后离婚，此举顿时牵涉到外交、宗教等多方利益。期间，热死病蔓延，引起全国恐慌，一场宫廷震荡也随之而来……This costume drama features England's splendid Renaissance dynasty under King Henry VIII.

When Anne Boleyn plays much harder to get than any woman ever has, Henry begins to search for a way out of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, so that he can make Anne his wife. Needing a divorce, Henry turns to Wolsey, who promises to help him create waves of backlash from the church, as well as the Spanish Habsburg dynasty and its overseas empire. Against this background gyrate the private lives and political intrigues of several members of the royal court and chancery. This includes Henry's friend and his sister Margaret's true love Charles Brandon, the Habsburg ambassadors, greedy and power-hungry schemers, their incidental victims and composer Thomas Tallis...
