Renowned for his excess, King Henry VIII goes through a series of wives during his rule. With Anne Boleyn, his second wife, executed on charges of treason, King Henry weds maid Jane Seymour, but that marriage also ends in tragedy. Not one to be single for long, the king picks German-born Anne of Cleves as his bride, but their union lasts only months before an annulment is granted, and King Henry continues his string of spouses.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie is a historical drama focusing entirely on the political and marital struggles of King Henry VIII. There is no mention or indication that the events occur during the Christmas season, nor are any Christmas themes or iconography present."
