The Tudors Aired From April 01 2007 – June 20 2010 On Showtime.
the story:
Henry VIII was the second son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. His elder brother, Arthur, Prince of Wales, died in 1502, leaving Henry as heir to the throne. Henry VIII is famous for having been married six times. He wielded perhaps the most formidable power of any English monarch and brought about the English Reformation (including the creation of the Church of England as well as the Dissolution of the Monasteries) and the legal union of England and Wales.
Of course, the show is not a precisely factual account, particularly due to the conflation of events in order to make the story flow in a more interesting manner for the small screen. Showtime’s site has a short list of The Tudors Historical Inaccuracies and Mysteries and wikipedia has a more detailed account of the show’s historical departures.
main cast:
Lover. Warrior. Rebel. King. Prepare for reign:
The world was his. He wanted more. Henry VIII was a rich playboy who lived a life of decadence, a fierce warrior who loved battle, an idealistic ruler, and a hopeless romantic whose affair with Anne Boleyn is one of the great love stories of all time.
"The Tudors" is the most expensive series in Showtime's history. Ten episodes are being produced for the second season, which will document the marriage of Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn, the birth of their daughter Elizabeth, the Reformation and the beheading of Boleyn. Season 2 is set to begin airing on 30 March, 2008.
