Six-part miniseries about the various wives of Henry VIII. Each part focuses on one of his wives and the separate relationship he had with them. Few women survived the romance, which occasionally even ended on the scaffold. Henry himself accused the painter Hans Holbein of having misled him by portraying his future wife Anna van Kleef more beautiful than she actually was. Henry himself had assumed the portrait to be true. In short, an unusual portrait of an equally unusual court.
