Nothing like pairing an old goat with a young kid.
Sadly for the fifth wife of King Henry VIII, life comes crashing down hard after all the fun and games start to wane.
King Henry VIII marries his fifth queen, a lusty teenager whose beauty and checkered past inflame the passions of a trusted courtier, Thomas Culpepper. Culpepper is revealed to be a cruel and unkind soul.
When Catherine Howard (Tamzin Merchant), a cousin of Anne Boleyn, makes merry and light in the castle, no good can come of it; her past comes back to haunt her and in doing so, seals her fate in the same way as Anne's.
Not to mention she is loathed by Mary, the King's pious Catholic daughter who prays all the time.
New episodes Sundays at 9pm ET/PT, beginning April 11, only on Showtime.
