Henry VIII and His Six Wives

Henry VIII reflects upon his long reign, and especially the crucial part his six marriages have played. The bulk of the film is depicted in flashback, while the elderly Henry VIII is surrounded by his family and courtiers waiting for him to die. Henry woos Anne Boleyn, a lady at court, who refuses to sleep with him unless she is his wife. Henry marries Jane Seymour, who successfully returns Princess Mary to royal favour and asks for pardons for the Pilgrimage of Grace.
