Life and Death in the Tudor Court

Link copied

The stories behind the stories, and the powers behind the throne... BBC Two's Life and Death in the Tudor Court season begins on Thursday 23rd May. Tudor Britain was one of the most extraordinarily compelling periods in history, dominated by giant personalities - but this season isn’t a definitive story of the Tudor kings and queens. This is about life at court, and focuses on the people who made a great dynasty, and then nearly tore it down. These are the fixers, makers and detonators of the Tudor Court - a volatile place where your next move could be your last.

1. The Last Days of Anne BoleynAnne Boleyn is one of the most famous and controversial women in British history. In 1536, she became the first queen in Britain's history to be executed. The brutal speed of her downfall, and the astonishing nature of the charges against her - treason, adultery, even incest - makes her story shocking even to this day. Yet whilst we know how Anne died, the story of why she had to go and who authored her violent end has been the subject of fiery debate across six centuries. In a radical new approach to televised history, a stellar cast of writers and historians, including Hilary Mantel, David Starkey, Philippa Gregory and others, battle out the story of her last days and give their own unique interpretations of her destruction.CCMay 23, 2013
