Thou shalt not watch this shite.
God, I nearly fell asleep watching this!
And I can't stop laughing at John's accent, it's so funny, yes, I know you are trying to speak posh English, but you are frigging Irish, and it's not working! It's bloody awful ! get a voice coach or something!
Because of that, it was a huge turn off for me,... -

king with six queens
So far, I have watched three films and TV series with Henry VIII.
"Henry VIII" is a typical historical film.
The male protagonist is a fat and ugly old man.
The king of "The Tudors"
is a handsome boy. Several queens, although not the most beautiful, but the clothes are still in place.
The king of...

Cardinal Thomas Wolsey: The King commands that you surrender this whole matter into his hands. Otherwise, the court will condemn you.
Queen Katherine: I am surprised to receive such a request from such a wise and noble man as you. I am but a poor woman, lacking in both wit and understanding. How am I supposed to respond to such a request made to me out of the blue?
Cardinal Thomas Wolsey: You know perfectly well what the King desires and what he shall have.
Queen Katherine: All I know, Eminence, is that you, for your own purposes, have kindled this fire. All this time, all these years, I have wondered at your high pride and your vain glory. I have abhorred your voluptuous life and had no regard at all for your presumptuous power and your tyranny! I also know your malice against my nephew, the Emperor. You hate him like a scorpion. And why? Because he would not satisfy your ambition and make you Pope by force.
Cardinal Thomas Wolsey: Madam, you should never presume to know...
Queen Katherine: My only satisfaction is that in frustrating you, I hasten your fall from the King's good graces... an outcome I desire above all others.

Queen Katherine: [as Katherine is called upon to testify, she falls to her knees at Henry's feet] My Lord. Sir. I beseech you, for all the love that has been between us, let me have justice and right. Give me some pity and compassion, for I am a poor woman, and a stranger, born out of your dominion. I have no friend here, and little counsel. I flee to you as head of justice in this realm. I call to God and all the world to witness that I have been to you a true, humble, and obedient wife, ever comfortable to your will and pleasure. I have loved all those who you have loved, for your sake, whether or not I had cause, whether they be my friends or enemies. By me you have had many children, although it has pleased God to call them from this world. But when you had me at first, I take God as my judge! I was a true maid, without touch of man! And whether or not it be true, I put it to your conscience.
