Dan and Suzannah recount the fateful unions Henry had with his first two wives, Katherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn.

Drama documentary series in which historians Dan Jones and Suzannah Lipscomb bring to life the scandal, romance and betrayal that characterised Henry VIII's six marriages. Dan and Suzannah recount how Henry changed history to divorce Katherine of Aragon and marry the woman who had captivated him, Anne Boleyn.

In 1539, after four failed marriages and only one sickly son and two daughters to succeed him, Henry VIII fell in love with seductive teenager Catherine Howard, first cousin of his second queen, Anne Boleyn. However, Catherine turned out to have a hidden sexual past. In the kindly, mature Catherine Parr he seemed to have found the perfect wife, but as historians Suzannah Lipscomb and Dan Jones recall when she tried to push Henry into religious reform, she too came within hours of the executioner's block.
