King Henry VIII

Flamboyant, headstrong, and outrageous, Henry VIII was a man of passions and appetites. In this program, the Tudor king’s life—including details of his six marriages—is examined, with a special focus on his role in the Protestant Reformation and self-appointed position as the supreme head of the Church of England. Superb reconstructions and reenactments, combined with analysis by Dr. Les Prince of Birmingham University, England, create a vivid picture of one of history’s most colorful rulers. (30 minutes)
