Young, handsome, and one of the most powerful men in the world, King Henry VIII of England should be pleased, but in reality, his mind weighs heavily with concern over religious division in his country, the political struggle that wages between nations, and his failure to produce a male heir. His wife, Kathrine of Aragon, has suffered numerous miscarriages and stillbirths, and the King's only legitimate child is his daughter, Mary. Katherine is an excellent queen and devoted wife, but Henry's desire to seek the extremely difficult route of divorce looms in his mind.
