Six Wives Of Henry VIII - Catherine Of Aragon
BBC Video

Sleeve Sypnosis:
Few television series have attracted as much critical and public acclaim as these six triumphant plays, now preserved on video. Written by six different authors each play is a lavish and authentic dramatisation, produced with style and quality. And binding tem together with his magnetic and diginfied performance as the mighty monarch is Keith Michell - the definitive Henry VIII.

"While my husband live I am his wife, his own true wife."

With her enormous love for her husband and her unflincing loyality to her people and her faith Catherine Aragon should have been the perfect Queen - but she was unable to bear King Henry a son. Subjected to humiliation of divorce proceedings she manages to maintain her integrity with a grand and touching defiance and with quiet, compelling dignity.
