"Divorced, beheaded, died; Divorced, beheaded, survived" - This children's rhyme accurately depicts the sometimes gruesome outcome of Henry VIII's six wives, and is a catchy reminder of how a king at the height of his power manipulated the law for his own gratification.

The iconic figure of Henry VIII conjures images of opulence and excess but also of a man with a vicious cruel streak that would send two of his wives to the executioner.

However, as this DVD shows, he was also a caring and loving husband desperate for a male heir…desperate enough to kill.

Narrated by Terry Molloy
