Cardinal Wolsey‘s fall is quick and pitiless. Stripped of office and authority, he is banished from the court and sent far from his much-beloved King. His unlikely successor is Sir Thomas More, a man unlike the overbearing Wolsey in every way but one—his loyalty to Henry.
Katherine left strong impressions on people—so much so that even her enemy, Thomas Cromwell, said ‘If not for her sex, she could have defied all the heroes of History.’
