The Tudors - The Complete Second Season (DVD)

Divorced, beheaded, died; Divorced, beheaded, survived...the tale of the six wives of Henry VIII. In Showtime's THE TUDORS, which premieres Sunday, April 1, 2007, viewers will see Henry as never before - young, sexy, intriguing, romantic and infinitely more complex than he's usually depicted. THE TUDORS covers ten tumultuous years leading to the King's first divorce. Filmed entirely on location in Ireland, the series stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Jeremy Northam, Sam Neill, Natalie Dormer, Henry Cavill, Callum Blue, and Gabrielle Anwar.

Henry VIII is England's most infamous royal; the super-sized King who consumed food and wives as voraciously as he belched out those who crossed him. He has been depicted throughout history as a rotund man of ruthless appetites; a monstrous ego who eradicated any traditions that got in the way of his ambitions. But the King in the pictures is only half the story; the roly-poly royal eclipses the view of a smart and sexy young man who has been overlooked -- until now.
