03x07 - Protestant Anne of Cleves

Post by bunniefuu »

- Jane.

-Your Majesty.

We are come here together

before god and these witnesses

to join in Holy
matrimony Henry VIII,

King of England and France,

defender of the faith,

Supreme Head of
the Church of England,

and the Lady Jane Seymour.

And if there be any among you

who may imagine some impediments

as to why they should
not be married,

Let them now speak out,

or forever hold their tongue.

Thank you for my gift,
it's so very beautiful.

I soon trust to thank you for mine.

Shall we join in the dance?

Music.

- I feel guilty. -Why?

Because sometimes I forget
about how beautiful you are.

I think she'll make him happy.

God's help, we'll all be happy now.

I don't recognize you, my lady?

Are you new at court?

Yes, Sir.
I am to be a maid to her Majesty.

What's your name?

Lady Ursula Misseldon.

You know who I am?

You're Sir Francis Bryan.
I've heard about you.

What have you heard?

You like to board other man's boats.

I trust that I shall be seeing

a lot more of you, Lady Misseldon.

Since both the King's daughters

have been declared
illegimate and unfit to rule,

we must trust the queen to
conceive a child quickly.

I still fear, with Anne's death,

we've lost a great friend
and a powerful supporter.

If the new Queen favors
the Catholic religion,

as she is rumored to do,

then our whole reformation
is surely in jeopardy.

What a suprise,

you have such little
faith in the king.

Unless we press ahead
the dissalution of those brothels

and slaughter whores
of the conscience.

The monasteries.

In nomine Patris, et Filii,
et Spiritus Sancti. Amen

Almighty and Everlasting God
give onto us the increase of faith

hope and charity and that we may
obtain that which Thou dost promise,

make us to love
that which Thou dost command

through Jesus Christ, our lord.

Amen.

Madam, If I may,

I have a wedding gift
for Your Majesty.

It once belonged to Queen Katherine.

Thank You.

His Majesty, the King.

- Wife. -Husband.

I don't think we need
to proceed in public.

Not this time.

Majesty.

Make way, the King's commissioners.

Be assure everything
is accounted for.

Yes, Dr. Frankish.

Dr. Frankish,
here's a wealthy Madonna.

Here is a fine one.

Coat of silk, ton of jewels,
wealth property

Well, Lady,

are you stripped now?

Mr. Aske.

Look what they've done, John.
Just look.

It's all Cromwell's doing.

Cromwell and that sect
of heretics in London,

that bustard.

I'll tell you this Mr. Aske, people,
They're no longer willing to stand by,

and watch their faith,

and everything that they care for,

being stripped away.
I heard just yesterday,

that two of Cromwell's
commisioners were att*cked

in Lincolnshire.
And here in Yorkshire,

and a man of the commons

stood up in his own church

and said go away to
follow the crosses.

For what they've taken from us,

we can follow them no more.

What am I supposed to do, John?

The commons here,
in Lincolnshire, everywhere.

They're prepared to fight,

to save what they love.

But they need captains,

they need clever,
educated man to lead them.

I'm no leader, John.
Don't decide now.

We'll call a meeting,

then decide.

For the love of God.

Take a look at that

Our commisioners found
it in Sawly Abbey.

How was it done?

See it yourself.

People thought
the saint's bones were alive

use it work for benedictions.

If they pay a little money
they had to the church and to Rome

how do our reforms progress?

As you know, my lord.

Parliament has now voted
for the suppression

of all the small monastery houses
and the commisioners are upon

and about their businesses
in nearly every county in England...

Much opposition?

Not as much
as we might have expected.

Why should we have expected it?

People conceive for themselves

that all these houses
should be condemned

for their manifest sin:
carnal and abundable living

I was told, one anecdote among many

When our commisioners entered
the London houses of the Crossed Friars

They found the prayer himself,
in babel disorder.

Both stunned and naked.

They often bribes to go away.

It is true that ordinary
people are so greedy

upon these houses when
they are suppressed.

They scavenge in the night
and day untill nothing is left.

They even take the books, to use for
paper in their houses of easement.

How about the gains
of King's treasure?

So far, by my reckoning,
we have already doubled

the King's income
and taken in possesion

of the monastic lands
worth many millions of pounds.

Millions?

Yes, Mr. Secretary.

Sir Edward Seymour.

Sir Edward,

as the brother of His
Majesty's beloved wife, Jane,

It is his Majesty's
pleasure today to creat you

Viscount Beauchamp
of Hache in Somerset,

also to appoint you
a governor of Jersy

and Chancellor of North Wales.

Your Majesty, I'm deeply honoured.

And I assure your Majesty
that I would labor

unremittingly in
your Majesty's interest,

in the hope of repaying
the great trust you've shown in me.

My lord,
here are your Letters patent.

May I congratulate
you on your elevation.

Mr. Secratary.

Thomas,
what are the businesses there?

Your Majesty has received
a letter from the Emperor,

congratulating your new marriage.

Since he's no further impediment,

he's very anxious to
become a new accommodation.

Good. What else?

The Lady Mary has also
written to you, Majesty

What does she want?

She writes, that it is time
now to forget the unhappy past,

she begs to be taken by
your Majesty's forgiveness

and humbly beseeches you to remember

that I am a humbled
woman and your child.

I'll never take her back.

Not until she first
submit herself to me

the subject of his mother's
marriage and surprint

You'll send the delegation

if she trully wants to
forget the unhappy past,

then she can stop by signing it.

Majesty.

Groom.

Ah, Sir Francis.
I have some good news for you.

His majesty has agreed
to your appointment

as a gentleman of the Privy Chamber.

I'm sure I know. Thanks for that.

I may have a small
job for you, soon.

Excellency. Your Majesty.

Come with me. There's someone
I wish to present you to.

Queen Jane. Allow me to introduce
his Excellency Eustace Chapuys,

Ambassador to
the emperor Charles V, Spain.

Excellency.

I leave you to talk in private.

Your Majesty,
may I congratulate on your marriage.

Wish you good health and prosperity.

Although the device of the lady
who proceeded you

on the throne was the most happy.

I have no doubt that it is you,
yourself who will realise that mortal.

Thank you, Excellency.

I know that the emperor
will rejoice of

such a virtual ascent
and amiable queen on the throne.

I must tell you it would be
impossible for me to overstate the joy

and happiness which each
Englsih men I have met

have expressed to me on
hearing of your marriage.

Especially, as it is said, that you're
a peace-maker who'll be continually

trying to persuade his majesty to
restore his daughter Mary to favor.

I promise you, excellency.

That I would continue to
show favor to the Lady Mary.

And do my best to deserve
the title of peace-maker

you so gallantly have given me.

If you do so,
I think you'll find Madam that

without the pain of labour,
and childbirth,

you'll gain a treasure
of the daughter

who may please you even more

than your own children by the King.

I can only say again, Excellency.

That I will do my best
to restore the peace

between the King
and his eldest daughter.

- Ambassordor -Madam.

Madam.

You're the first
ambassordor she's received.

She is not yet used
to see such audiences.

But it is true what they say.

She is kind and amiable,

and much inclined towards peace.

I swear, for example,

she would strive to prevent me
taking part in a foreign w*r.

If only to avoid the fear
and pain of separation.

If you are on w*r,
your majesty, against whom?

I was talking hypothetically.

Surely you'll do that youself,
your excellency.

Thanks for coming. Thank you.

Friends! Friends.

We've come here,
so you can listen to and talk to

this good man, Mr. Robert Aske.

Now some of you have
already known him,

he is the Duke of
Northampton's legal man.

He's always been
honest and fair minded

in these dealings
with the commons so...

Mr. Aske can speak for himself.

Ladies and Gentlmen.

Now, tell me what is your want.

Mr Aske, all of our faith
days were abolished and gone.

Should it pleased the King's grace
that we might have our Holy days back.

We want our abbeyes restored.

And demand that this
advance of heresy be halted.

We want this new heretic Bishop
like Cranmer be casted off.

Even Cromwell to be surplanted
by man of noble birth.

We hear rumors, Mr. Aske,
that new taxes levy's against us

on our cattle, and our christenings,

on our marriages, and our births.

Aske, they even destroy our perish
churches and steal our treasures.

All right, gentlemen.
All right, gentlemen.

What do you reckon you
can do to stop them.

Mr. Aske, before our lands, our
good to their houses.

Are taken from by the church
commissioners. We'll fight.

And we'll die,
die after full ultimate, Mr. Aske.

I know you are angry.

The destruction of the abbeys is
a terrible and criminal thing.

Since that represents by that very
presence and exotic ideal to of all of us.

But gentlemen, this call to arms,
to rebellion against the king's grace

is something which are
my conscience I cannot agree to.

Since the King is our body and soul.

Then an att*ck upon him is an att*ck upon
the commonwealth and upon God himself.

Did you hear that, my mates?

The gentry doesn't care for us.

Christ die for the poor.

Do you remember that, Mr. Aske?

Lady Misseldon, Your Majesty

- Lady Misseldon
- Your Majesty

Do your duties
honournably and virtuesly

and remember,
you are all bound to serve and obey.

Lady Rochford?

Your Majesty.

Please.

I ask to see you.

I know that the things have not gone well
for you since your husband was ex*cuted.

I have been utterly abandoned.

I feel I was condemed
because of what George did.

Even Mr Cromwell has refused
to answer my letters.

Nothing was your fault. George
Bolyen was his own keeper.

I want you to come back to court.

And I'd like to appoint you
my principal lady in waiting.

I hope you'll accept this position.

- Thank you, Your Majesty. -Well then, lady Rochford?

All is well again.

All is mended up

Sir Francis Bryan, my lady.

Lady Mary. My lord.

I'm very glad you've come to see me.

I've written a letter congratulating
the King on his marriage.

And begging leave to
wait upon queen Jane

or do her grace such services
would please her to command me.

I'm afraid, Lady Mary.

I've not come here to
discuss pleasentaries.

His Majesty urged you to sign this.

- What is it? -A list of articles.

Recognising the King
as Head of the Church,

and your mother's marriage
just incestuous and unlawful.

You must also renounce Rome and

free acknowledged
of your illegitamacy

If you not sign, I'm afraid Mr Secretary
Cromwell can not guarantee your safety.

However much I love my father,
your grace.

And would do anything to please
and satisfy him, I still cannot

risk my mortal soul for
the favor of an unearthly King.

You're an unfitlial daughter.

Since you're not
submit to your father.

He may yet procceed
against you for treason.

No, no he would not.

- I cannot believe it. -Listen to me.

I tell you

if you're my daugher,

I would smash
your head against the wall

until it is soft as a boiled apple.

Do you understand?

Lady Mary.

I've been discussing plans for
your coronation with Mr Holbein

Have you ever heard of
the centre of Venice?

No, Your Majesty.

It's a ship.
In which the Doge travels out

into the Lagoon every year to
renew its marriage while the sea

It's a magnificant thing.
The dawn will gold and bronze, statues,

Neptune, sea lions and other
fantastic sea creatures...

And I'm going to build it.

And you're going go travel in it,

from Greenwich to the city,

where you'll be crowned,
Queen Jane of England.

Your Majesty, I...
I don't know what to say.

You don't have to say anything.

It will be the most fabulous coronation
any English Queen has ever had,

that I promise you.

Your Majesty. Forgive me.

But I've heard Your Majesty

make some proceedings
against the Lady Mary.

With all my heart I beg you not to.

Are you out of your senses?

Don't talk of such matters again.

Jane,

I have another wedding gift for you.

I hope you like it.

Thank you Your Majesty.

Oh I love him, he's so pretty.

Lady Misseldon.

Sir Francis.

- I hope I didn't alarm you. -No sir.

You left me a note
that you wanted to see me?

Yes, I did.

About what?

I was wondering

if you'd like to become my mistress.

Sir, I'm already
engage to be married.

To whom?

Sir Robert Tavistock

Can he afford to buy
you gifts like this?

I didn't think so.

But if it's more important to you

to keep your virgin then
keep it for what it's worth.

And I swear I wouldn't bother you

or your conscience ever again.

I haven't decided yet.

How can I renounce Rome
or my mother's marriage.

After all of my mother's sufferings.

I understand.

But may I suggest that you
could sign the document.

And then make what is
called a protestation apart.

That is secretly foresware
your submission before witnesses.

Is that not hypocrisy?

Surely the emperor's against
my signing such a document

and the Holy Father.

Lady Mary,

I must tell you in honesty that

that the emperor's
no longer inclined to

interfere any further
in this matter.

After all,
you are not his subject and

and since he is seeking
a new alliance with the king,

he would in truth be most reluctant

to offend him in any way.

Then, I'm...

on my own?

What if I do not sign it?

It is very possible
that the king would put you to death.

Well

- Do you...do you not want to read it first? -No.

Only I ask if you can (come to) pray
for absolution for what I've done.

So long as I live,

I will never forgive myself.

Father Pole?

Yes Your Eminence.

I'm Cardinal Von Waldburg.

How long have you been as the servant
adhere in Rome, Father Pole?

Almost a year Your Eminence.

I left England when
to became clear that

the king meant to break his obedience
to see of Roman, our Holy Father.


The death of whore Anne Boleyn
is perhaps providential.

And His Holiness prays
that King Henry would

grasp this divine opportunity
for reconciliation.

Just one gesture,

of he sounds to see of Rome,
however small,

will allow him to leave
the thr*at of excommunication.

Your Eminence believe me,

that is something that the faithful
of England are praying for.

My mother,
Lady Salisbury has written to me

expressing her hope
that the new queen is

in her heart a true Catholic.

Perhaps your mother
could do more than hope.

And perhaps you yourself Father Pole

might've considering
returning to England.

In order to influence events there.

You see, Father Pole,

I know who you really are.

Here is the real Danae?

She would kindle
your lust even higher

One touch,
one mere touch of her body,

and your limbs will
melt in the fire.

The necklace suits you,

and you're adored.

In nomine Patris, et Filii,
et Spiritus Sancti. Amen

Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum

Your Majesty has received
a letter from Lady Bryan,

governors to the Lady Elizabeth.

Apparently the child has
outgrown her clothes.

Lady Bryan asks if Your
Majesty would permit

her to purchase new ones.

Why should I?
I don't believe she is my child.

The whole world knows their father's
a traitor Henry Norris

and their mother was a whore.
What else?

There's letters,
the submission of the Lady Mary.

You will make arrangements for myself
and the Queen to meet with her.

Not here and not publicly.

We will go to her residence.

There're rumors of
plague in the city.

Coronation would
have to be postponed.

Your Majesty.

Thomas.

Mr. Richard showed me the figures.

I'm very pleased with you Tom.

I will shortly prove it.

Lady Rochford.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Take this to Lady Bryan,

tell her to use it buy clothes
for the Lady Elisabeth.

Yes, Madam.

And you must think of
a gift for the Lady Mary.

I'm looking so forward
to meeting her.

Your Majesty is very kind.

Lady Rochford,

it's not your fault
that your husband betrayed you.

Nor is it Mary's fault
or Elizabeth's fault

to be born of a king.

Women are much put
upon in this world.

It's my desire as much
as I can to promote their interests.

I must do it quietly.

But I will do it all the same.

And I trust you'd help me.

Yes, Your Majesty.

What's your name, man?

Charlie, sir. Charlie Roll

- Trade? -Shepherd.

Mr. Secretary Cromwell.

Kneel.

Do you know well about it, Charlie?

Yes, Captain Aske

We're not rebels,

we're Pilgrimages

And we have a pilgrimage to go on.

If you want to join us

then you shall swear to
be true to our mighty God.

To Christ Catholic Church.

To our sovereign lord, the king.

And to the commons of this realm,
so help you God.

I do swear.

Wear this badge.

It show the five wounds of Christ.

To prove that the commons
will fight in Christ cause.

Yes, captain.

- God bless you, Charlie. -Sir.

Arise, Sir Thomas Cromwell,

also Baron Cromwell of Wimbledon.

And from this day forth,

Lord Privy Seal.

Majesty.

Your Grace. Your Grace.

May I, son?

God be with you Lad

Your Majesty is too kind.

Mary, gifts like these are easy
compared with gifts of a heart.

It gives more pleasure
than I can say

to see you reconcile
with your father.

- Mary.

- Mary.

Here is enough for
a thousand crowns.

If you need anything
else you need only ask.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Father.

Yes, father.

Mary's so sweet and affectional.

She's everything I heard should be.

It seems to be no wonder
she's so marvelous and beloved

for her virtue and goodness
in the hearts of the people.

Your Majesty must invite her
to the court, show her off.

Your Majesty?

Why were you not speak to me?

Because I'm disappointed.

Why?

I'm disappointed because
you're not yet with child.

Lord, my lord, my lord.

We have come here in great haste.

To tell you that the great part of the
north as well as part of Lincolnshire

have risen in sudden
rebellion against His Majesty.

There are master of
commons everywhere.

The beacons of rebellion burning
their own light to cross the hills.

Just four days ago,

while we're collecting
taxes and hectinsome

We were set upon by an angry mob

They captured one of
the Commissioners call Nicolas Bello.

Pull him down from his hourse

and b*at him to death
with their stave.

Among them, my lord,
we saw armed priests.

Urging on these rebellion's names

and cries'k*ll them, k*ll them'.

Then we heard another man,
william Lichie

who is known to be
your servant Mr. Cromwell

have been hanged from a tree

and what these Rebels said they want

so far I can tell you,
they want to keep their holy days

they want monasteries restored
and their church unelested, and...

no more taxed

I heard they declared
they prospaid with their journey.

They intend to k*ll
you, my Lord Crownwell

4 or 5 bishops,
and Chancellor Richie

as deviced taken church goods,
and tearing down churches

why dont the local Gentry intervince
and serpress these traitors and wait

surely they want to protect
their lands than Holy Days

they tried, but the Rebels
then come back even greater

some say, my lord Crownwell,
they are not hundreds

but thousands religion rebelions
against the King's Church reforms

why did you know, you are suposed
to know everything that goes on here

you told me there was little opposition,
on the contrary.

You told me that most people was
glad to see such places dissolved

you were wrong

you didnot know anything, knave

sit down, write this

we take it as greatest unkindness,
that our common

unfearist objects should rise
agasint without any grounds

As for taking the goods from perish
Church which is never intended

yet even it had been intended...
True subjects

would have not dealt with me,
Their Princess in such v*olence

but would petition
me for that purpose

now I command you Rebels to go home,
and say no more

and remember your allegiance, you are
duly bound to to obey me, your King

both by God's Commoments,
and by the law of nature

all commands, stick together

now it's the time to arise,
for else ever

so forwards, forwrds to York

Forwards in pain of death

Forwards in God's Name, Forwards.

Writing to the Gentry of Yorkshire

reminding them of their duties to suppress
these traitors, penalties in not doing so

so any case, for suspending the work of
church commisioners, until rebels...

no, the only way to b*at the king's

authority into the hands
of rude people of North

is to show them King's intend
to continue with reformation

and correction religion
whatever they say

what ever they do

yes

my lord

the Rebels have taken Lincoln

the Rebels flag flies over city gate

and more of them are
now marching on York

My God, Help us

When I was 5, my mother and I were
taken accross London, into the tower

there was a rebelion
against my father

The Cornish rebels
reached the city walls,

and inside everything was panic, fear

with no news at all,
nor army of my father

my mother tried to remain
calm, she was terrified

So was I,

I was sure we were
both going to be k*lled

I'm appointing you command
of the Royal forces,

you will arrive North
as soon as possible

you will find g*ns and ordnances
of hunger, but don't tarry there

No, Your Majesty, I will do all
Your Majesty Commands and more

these rebels are our traitors,
Charles

full of wretched
and devilish intense

they must be punished,

for their detestable and unmature sin
of rebellion against their Sirvior

just as my father,
punish the cornishmen.

Charles, What is going on

- Leave us. -Yes Your Grace.

His Majesty has charged me would
lead his army against North Rebels

You are not to worry, I will have my
back enough men and arms to subdue them

easily, I have his Majesty's promise

I hope to God, He keeps it

I'm happy to accept this charge

Crownwell is being
blamed for everything,

and the Rebels is demanding
his head with God's help

I may will be able to deliver it

The Lord Privy Seal

I'll despatch
Duke of Surffolk to the Royal Army

If we need to send the second
army to destroy the rebels

Yes, Your Mejesty

unless they disperse

and said 100 of their ringleaders
to the Duke of Surffolk

of with halters around their necks

then he has our permission to
burn to destroy all their goods

and make a fearful example of
them to all of our subjects

Yes, Majesty.

If still they do not submit,
Mr. Cromwell,

then I promise the utter
destruction of them

their wives and their children.

Do you understand me?
I will destroy them all

and then I'll destroy you, Cromwell.
