Henry VIII of the Tudor dynasty desperately wanted a son, even divorcing Queen Catherine, the mother of Mary I later, and breaking with the Holy See for this.
After Henry VIII divorced, his waitress, Anne Boleyn, came to the throne, and finally gave birth to only one daughter for him, the later Elizabeth I.
After Henry VIII killed his second wife, he married three more wives, and only Jane Seymour bore him a prince.
After Henry VIII's death, his son, Edward VI, succeeded him.
Edward VI reigned for six years and died childless, and was succeeded by Jane Grey, the great-granddaughter of his grandfather Henry VII.
Jane Grey reigned for only nine days when she was overthrown by Henry VIII's eldest daughter, Mary I, who ascended to the Queen's throne. Due to the unfortunate life in her early years, Mary's violent temper was caused. After she came to power, she started killing Protestants, so she became known as "Bloody Mary".
Mary died after five years on the throne, and the throne was succeeded by her half-sister, Henry VIII's second daughter, Elizabeth.
Elizabeth's 44 years on the throne are known as the "Golden Age", she made England one of the most powerful countries in Europe, and culturally it reached a peak, with famous figures such as Shakespeare and Francis Bacon.
It has long been concluded that there must be a woman behind a successful man, and there must be a man behind a successful woman. The man behind Elizabeth is his confidant, Cecil.
British historians have long said: "Elizabeth is actually a woman plus a man, herself plus Cecil." It can be said that without Cecil, there would be no Elizabeth I, nor the golden age of England. Cecil's evaluation is: "You will not be moved by any form of bribery, you will always be loyal to the country."
Elizabeth, Cecil and Shakespeare are the protagonists of this film, Elizabeth in the film is like a A promiscuous, confused and old-fashioned king, Cecil is a treacherous courtier, and Shakespeare has become a wretched and despicable villain.
It seems that the wind of Chinese jokes has already spread to the British island nation.
