Henry VIII: The Mind of a Tyrant

Channel 4 - 6 April 2009



1/4 - Prince (1485-1509)



To mark the 500th anniversary of Henry VIII's accession to the throne, England's greatest living historian Dr David
Starkey travels across Europe to understand the inner life of this feared English king. In this episode David Starkey
follows the dramatic events of Henry's childhood, events that shaped his personality and his attitude to kingship.



In 1485, on the field at Bosworth, Henry's father, Henry Tudor, seized the crown from the defeated Yorkist king Richard
III. To us, this event marks the end of the Wars of the Roses but to contemporaries it was not clear that this bitter
dynastic struggle was truly over. Henry, Tudor's second son, was created Duke of York to link the royal house to the
defeated faction.



But Henry had a rival in the shape of Perkin Warbeck, who claimed to be the real Duke of York and rightful king. Henry
Tudor would have to defend his throne twice in battle, and his son's life depended on the outcome.



The death of his brother Arthur made Henry Prince of Wales, and his father's heir and rival.

Channel 4 - 13 April 2009



2/4 - Warrior (1509-1525)



To mark the 500th anniversary of Henry VIII's accession to the throne, Dr David Starkey travels across Europe to
understand the inner life of this feared English king.



Henry's father had won and defended the crown in battle. For Henry, this was the mark of true regal legitimacy and he
was determined to emulate his father and win even greater glory. However, to wage war Henry had to free himself from the
councillors he had inherited from his father and be his own man.



Starkey traces Henry's quest to become a major player in Europe, his successes at the Battle of the Spurs and the Field
of the Cloth of Gold and his eventual humiliation after the Battle of Pavia.



Throughout these years, his relationship with the brilliant, Machiavellian Thomas Wolsey was central to his reign. But
even Wolsey could not disguise the relative impotence of England and her monarchy compared to the great European
powers.



These foreign disappointments were mirrored by the gradual deterioration in Henry's marriage. If Henry had died, like so
many, of the sweating sickness in 1525, he would have barely registered in history, his reign a feeble coda to the story
of England's medieval monarchy.



But events were about to take an extraordinary turn. Henry would remake himself, his throne and his kingdom - and all
for love.

3/4 - Lover (1526-1536)



To mark the 500th anniversary of Henry VIII's accession to the throne, Dr David Starkey travels across Europe to
understand the inner life of this feared English king.



This episode traces Henry's ten-year affair with Anne Boleyn. Henry began to pursue Anne in early 1526. As lust turned
to love, he conceived the idea of marrying her. But that required a Papal annulment of his marriage to Catherine.



David Starkey's research in the Vatican archives has revealed the real story of Henry's futile six-year struggle to get
what he wanted from Rome.



During this time, and prompted by Anne, Henry began to re-think the nature of the English monarchy. He came to believe
that the King, not the Pope, should rule the Church in England. The result was the break with Rome, a new wife for
Henry, and a new religion for his subjects.



But the marriage did not last. Henry's court had always been a dangerous place, and when Queen Anne turned against
Thomas Cromwell, Henry's chief minister, Cromwell knew that he had to move against her to save himself. He manipulated
Henry's naturally suspicious nature to engineer Anne's execution. Money and power had triumphed over love.

4/4 - Tyrant (1533-1547)



To mark the 500th anniversary of Henry VIII's accession to the throne, Dr David Starkey travels across Europe to
understand the inner life of this feared English king.



The final programme in the series examines how Henry, having inherited a chronically weak English crown, forged it into
an instrument of unprecedented power, and then wielded it to change forever the nature of England and the English.



The courtiers who had helped Cromwell dispatch Anne Boleyn hoped that the schism with Rome would now be reversed. They
were soon disappointed. The destruction of the monasteries proceeded apace, with the loot flowing into Henry's
coffers.



But such unprecedented actions caused isolation abroad and rebellion at home. Henry's response showed him at his most
duplicitous and ruthless. Meanwhile, Henry's private life was hardly less turbulent.
