Episode 1.04

Synopsis

• 
  Though Henry is named "Defender of the Faith" by the Pope, fidelity is scarce at court. Henry's sister, Princess Margaret marries the decrepit King of Portugal, only to rush into the lustful arms of Charles Brandon. The King's increasing disinterest in his Queen and his obsession over the fact that he still hasn't produced a legitimate heir to the Tudor dynasty, foster an urgent desire for radical action.
