Description:

Henry and his six wives have been seen on film before, but never in such detail. Normally, a 10-episode run would have covered all the wives, with Henry’s (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) funeral thrown in to boot. Here, the first 10 hours have chronicled only the dissolution of Henry’s first (and longest) marriage, a political union with Catherine of Aragon (Maria Doyle Kennedy), the virtuous and strong-willed daughter of Spanish monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella (best known for bankrolling Christopher Columbus).

  Personally, I have never been a big British history fan. Too many names, dates, wives and everything else to remember in high school I suppose. However, “The Tudors” has sparked my interest. I feel certain that the powers that be at Showtime have enhanced and edited to suite ratings but I like this show none the less. It has actually sparked my interest to read real books about the era and people. Imagine that…a television show that sparks reading!
