We all know the story of "the King's Great Matter," Henry VIII's divorce from Katharine of Aragon, but what was Henry's actual case for divorce? How was the "Great Matter" influenced by politics, in England and abroad? And how has the case affected our modern perception of Katharine?

Renounce Utterly Mine Own Will
Six Queens

Henry VIII is often remembered as the "most married" monarch in British history, but his sixth queen, Katherine Parr, was the most married consort. Who were her four husbands and how did she come to marry them? How did she, like so many women in the sixteenth century, use marriage for social advancement?
Series 3 concludes with a look at "the four husbands" of Katherine Parr: her life as a Northern noblewoman, the complications and freedoms of widowhood in the sixteenth century, and the ways in which Katherine honored her duty over her heart.
At the end of the episode, stay tuned for a sneak peek of Series 4!
