“Message to the Emperor” · Season 1, Episode 7
In this episode: King Henry VIII (4), Charles Brandon (1), Anne Boleyn (1), Cardinal Wolsey (1), Queen Katherine (1), Duke of Suffolk (1)
Why should the pope favour the emperor, who has caused him nothing but misery, over the king of England, who has never caused him any harm at all?
The trouble is, your Eminence, the swords of the king of England are much further away than the swords of the emperor. Diplomacy is nearly always settled by such proximity.
Spoken like a true lawyer.
[about Anne Boleyn] And your fear of The Sweat is greater than your infatuation with your mistress?
Katherine, she is not my mistress. I do not sleep with her. Not whilst you and I are still married.
Ah! Your Excellence, allow me to introduce...
Is this not Mademoiselle Anne? Enchanté. His Eminence, Cardinal Wolsey, has told me all about you, but he did not tell me how beautiful you are. For a Frenchman, that is almost a crime.
Someone told me taking infusions was the worst thing.
Trust me. It will make you feel sick, but it's better than the sickness it prevents.
Ah! Your Excellence, allow me to introduce...
Is this not Mademoiselle Anne? Enchanté. His Eminence, Cardinal Wolsey, has told me all about you, but he did not tell me how beautiful you are. For a Frenchman, that is almost a crime.
(smiles, answering in French) But Frenchmen tell all ladies that they are beautiful- that is also a crime, is it not? I have a gift for you.
For me?
For you, Monsieur, absolutely. (George Boleyn leads over a large wolfhound) This dog is very fast (the Ambassador sticks his hand out to pet it and it growls)... and very formidable.
(in English) What's his name?
Wolsey. (Henry laughs)
