Mary Tudor has already lost her title, her mother, and any illusion that her father is going to come to his senses. And somehow… things are about to get even messier.
In Part 2, Anne Boleyn is out, Mary is bullied into submission, and she's finally welcomed back into Henry VIII’s good graces. We follow her through new stepmothers, the brutal execution of Margaret Pole, and an uneasy reconciliation with the father who turned her life into a psychological horror story.
Then Henry dies, her baby brother becomes King and Mary’s Catholic faith puts her right back in danger.
By the end, Edward is dead. Mary is queen… right?
Well. Yes and no.
