Wolf Hall

Having failed to secure the annulment of the King’s marriage to Katherine of Aragon, Cardinal Wolsey is stripped of his powers. His hopes of returning to the King’s favor lie in the ever-loyal Thomas Cromwell.

Cardinal Wolsey has been forced to move to York. Cromwell stays in London, seeking to return the Cardinal to the King’s favor. As Cromwell’s relationship with Henry deepens, there is unexpected news from the north.

It falls to Thomas Cromwell to orchestrate a marriage between the King and Anne Boleyn. Cromwell is rewarded for his loyalty by the King, but he is being closely watched by his enemies.

Anne gives birth to a baby girl, failing to produce Henry’s longed-for male heir. Cromwell requires the nobility and church to swear an oath acknowledging Anne as lawful Queen. But will Thomas More agree?

With Anne pregnant again and away from court, Henry begins to take notice of Jane Seymour. Anne hears of this and threatens Cromwell to make terms with her before her son is born. But has she overplayed her cards?

Henry’s love for Anne Boleyn has given way to anger and distrust and he instructs Cromwell to rid him of his second Queen. Sensing her loss of favor, the Queen’s enemies gather.
