A six-episode dramatization of Henry VIII's relationships with each of his six wives. Each episode is devoted to one wife, and is a complete play in itself.

故事梗概： 　　在英勇善战的亨利八世的治理下英国逐渐从一个欧洲偏远蛮荒的小国发展成为有影响的大国。但是有一个问题一直困扰着亨利八世，那就是他一直没有可以继承王位的子嗣。 　　尽管亨利八世四处留情，许多被他宠幸过的女人都为他生了孩子，这其中也不乏他梦寐以求的男孩。但是那些必定是私生子，在法律上是不被认可的。和亨利八世共度十数载的皇后原本是他哥哥的遗孀，按照父亲的遗愿亨利八世必须娶她为妻。尽管和皇后的感情还算融洽，但除了一个女儿皇后没有给亨利八世生下一个男孩，这让皇后深感内疚。 　　一个偶然的机会，亨利八世结识了一名骑士的女儿安妮，他被安妮的美貌和智慧深深吸引。亨利八世不惜利用权力解除了安妮和波希爵士的婚约，还像个孩子一样不停地给安妮写信，并在收到回信后兴奋得手舞足蹈。但是安妮并不同于亨利八世以前结识的那些女人，她很有头脑。安妮不希望成为亨利八世的情妇，却要做真正意义上的妻子。被爱情冲昏头脑的亨利八世不顾罗马教会和民众的反对，毅然与妻子离婚，并将安妮立为新的皇后。 　　婚后的日子甜蜜而幸福，很快安妮怀上了身孕。但当亨利八世满怀欣喜地等待一个王子的降生时，命运再一次捉弄了他――安妮生下了一名女婴。失落的亨利八世又开始寻欢，经常剩下安妮孤独地留在皇宫里。几年后安妮再次怀孕，却不幸流产。此刻关于安妮与人偷情的传言开始在皇宫里四处流传，盛怒下的亨利八世认为安妮是一个女巫，并下令将她送上断头台…… 　　精彩视点： 　　关于亨利八世这个人物，有多部包括电影在内的文学作品中都曾有对他的记述。与其他历史题材影片不同，亨利八世这个至高无上、一生经历过六次婚姻，在旁人眼中凶残暴虐、荒淫无度的君主在本片中被塑造成一个平民化的国王形象。即便是一国之君，也有喜怒哀乐、有对爱情的执著和必须完成的使命。因此本片中的亨利八世形象更加饱满，更具人性化。英国著名演员雷·温斯顿在本片中的表现可谓入木三分，他将亨利八世光鲜背后的无奈演绎得十分到位。除本片外，雷·温斯顿还曾出演过《冷山》、《亚瑟王》等知名影片。 　　1月27日 14：40 电CCTV-6播出

How a seemingly normal, harmless prince turned into a ruthless tyrant.

The Six Queens of Henry VIII is the story of the Tudor King, rich in emotional and psychological drama, brought vividly to life through lavishly realised dramatic reconstruction and the duelling perspectives of two of Channel 5’s most vibrant historians. Suzannah Lipscomb and Dan Jones will lead us through the web of intrigue, scandal, romance, lust, betrayal and tragedy that characterised Henry’s six marriages. 　　Suzannah and Dan will view the dramatic events of each union from the perspectives of man and woman, King and Queen. 　　In each episode, Henry VIII and His Six Wives will bring to life the experiences of Henry’s Queens to see what they saw, feel what they felt, each time capturing Henry at a different stage of his life and reign. From the vigorous Renaissance prince eager to step out of his father’s shadow to the anxious middle-aged man desperate for an heir, to the irascible elder statesman in need of love and affection, the series will chronicle Henry’s life choices.

On his deathbed, King Henry VIII looks back over his eventful life and his six marriages. -----IMDb

The man who came to be known as King Henry VIII would marry no fewer than six times, in pursuit of not only a male heir, but also of love. It's hard to discern the man from the myth. But it's easy to see that Henry VIII has become the most infamous English King, and is remembered half a millennium later for his romantic passion and his tyrannous rule.
