- King Henry VIII, the young and ambitious monarch of England, prepares for war with France but is dissuaded by the diplomatic manipulation of his powerful Lord Chancellor, Cardinal Wolsey, who proposes that the King sponsor a "Treaty of Universal Peace." The harmony of the King's domestic affairs is threatened, however, when he discovers that Elizabeth Blount, the young and beautiful lady-in-waiting to his Queen, Katherine of Aragon, is pregnant with his child.
- After the murder by Frenchmen of his uncle, the English ambassador in Urbino, one of the Itamian states being invaded by France, young Tudor king Henry VIII orders his council to prepare war on France. His de facto prime minister, cardinal Wolsey, obeys but actually prepares an alternative, a pan-European institutionalized peace, to Thomas More's humanist liking, and plots to be rewarded with the papacy. Meanwhile Henry, whose major sorrow is the lack of a son, enjoys life, especially jousting, hunting and games with duke Charles Brandon and adulterous love, which only adds to the hatred of men around the duke of Buckingham, who believes to be the true pretender to the throne.—KGF Vissers

After his uncle, the English Ambassador in Urbino, Italy, is killed by French soldiers the King thinks the time has come to make war with the French who have already conquered 6 Italian States. Everyone support hims but the French claim the attack was not ordered by their King and that those involved have been eliminated. Cardinal Wolsey, with an eye on the Papacy which the French will support, recommends against war and proposes his own plan for peace. The Duke of Buckingham feels he should rightly be on the throne and is planning a coup. His fellow plotters include Sir Thomas Boleyn, Ambassador to France and Wolsey. The King has voracious appetites and enjoys manly games such as hunting, royal tennis and jousting tournaments. He also has a mistress, Lady Blount, who is also a lady in waiting to his wife the Queen, Catherine of Aragon with whom he has already had one daughter, Mary.
