When a 17-year-old Henry VIII took the throne back in 1509, he would’ve expected to end up in the history books. That's what happens when you're the King of England. What he definitely couldn’t have foreseen is that he'd become one of his country's most famous sovereigns, but largely due to his positively scandalous love life. The Tudor monarch started his own church, changed the constitution and became the first English king of Ireland — and yet it's his six wives (and some of their demises) that everyone remembers. King Henry VIII's reign was defined by his marriages. Coercion, manipulation and ultimately murder were all employed. Wives were selected and discarded for political and religious reasons and in a desperate attempt to sire an heir. Famously he married six times over his 36 year reign. The six queens were formidable individuals. Some were ambitious, some brave, some ruthless - and between them they shaped the man who began as a Renaissance prince, became a monster and ended a regretful old man. In turn they shaped England itself. Henry VIII's hunt for the perfect queen is one of the most shocking sagas in history. Across four decades he was driven by passion, obsession and vengeance – and wed six very different women. From the bold Katherine of Aragon to the ambitious Anne Boleyn, the saintly Jane Seymour to the shocking Anne of Cleves, and the seductive Catherine Howard to the dangerous Katherine Parr. This is the story of these six exceptional women, and how, together, they created a king – and changed history forever. Join historians Dan Jones and Suzannah Lipscomb as they explore what these turbulent relationships tell us about England's legendary king. This 4-Part series is an original and enlightening look at the real people at the centre of the action during one of the most turbulent, passionate and violent periods in English history. Series written and directed by Chris Holt; An Oxford Film and Television and GroupM Entertainment Production For Channel 5

1509 年，当 17 岁的亨利八世重新夺回王位时，他本以为自己会被载入史册。这就是当你成为英格兰国王时会发生的事情。他绝对无法预见的是，他会成为该国最著名的君主之一，但这很大程度上是由于他丑闻缠身的爱情生活。这位都铎王朝的君主建立了自己的教堂，修改了宪法，并成为爱尔兰第一位英国国王，但每个人都记得他的六位妻子（以及她们的一些去世）。亨利八世国王的统治是由他的婚姻决定的。胁迫、操纵以及最终的谋杀都被使用了。妻子的选择和抛弃是出于政治和宗教原因，也是为了生下继承人。众所周知，他在 36 年的统治期间结过六次婚。六位皇后都是实力强大的人。有些人雄心勃勃，有些人勇敢，有些人冷酷无情——他们塑造了一个从文艺复兴时期的王子开始，变成怪物，最后成为遗憾的老人的人。反过来，他们塑造了英格兰本身。亨利八世寻找完美女王的故事是历史上最令人震惊的传奇故事之一。四十年来，他被激情、痴迷和复仇所驱使，并娶了六位截然不同的女人。从大胆的阿拉贡的凯瑟琳到雄心勃勃的安妮博林，从圣洁的简西摩到令人震惊的克利夫斯的安妮，从诱人的凯瑟琳霍华德到危险的凯瑟琳帕尔。这是关于这六位杰出女性的故事，以及她们如何共同创造了一位国王，并永远改变了历史。与历史学家丹·琼斯和苏珊娜·利普斯科姆一起探索这些动荡的关系告诉我们关于英格兰传奇国王的一切。 这部由 4 部分组成的系列剧以原创且富有启发性的视角，讲述了英国历史上最动荡、最激情和最暴力的时期之一中处于行动中心的真实人物。 由克里斯·霍尔特编剧和导演的系列剧；牛津电影电视与群邑娱乐为 Channel 5 制作的节目
