This documentary explores each woman who was married to the tyrant king - Henry VIII. He is known for his unconventional and highly disruptive rule of England. In his life he had six wives; Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Kathryn Howard and Catherine Parr. Life as a Tudor woman was difficult at the best of times, but when you're married to a tyrant king, it can be so much worse. Your every move scrutinised for treason. Your every motive is questioned. Treated as little more than a broodmare, or a lamb to the slaughter. Each wife presented a new option for Henry to get his wish of a son and eventual heir to his throne. However things were not so straightforward. For ultimately this is a story of miscarriage, divorce, betrayal and beheadings.
