Description
Jonathan Rhys Meyers stars in this original, history-based drama series as the young, vibrant King Henry VIII, a competitive and lustful monarch who navigates the intrigues of the English court and the human heart with equal vigor and justifiable suspicion.
And the scenes where Henry's first three wives appear are magnificent.

And a very symbolic moment with a swan, the whole essence of Henry is revealed in it.
His words that it is possible to turn to the Lord at any hour that pleases us, and not only in church, that the Lord lives in the soul of every person; his attitude towards his son, joy for his grandson - all this disposes to the hero.
