Christmas at the Tudor court is a time for ringing in the new. Mistress Anne Boleyn has replaced the banished Queen Katherine. The King’s chaplain, Thomas Cranmer, makes a fact-finding visit to Lutheran Germany while Henry withdraws both the authority and taxes of the Catholic Church at home. And a royal visit to France finally convinces Anne to consummate her relationship with Henry, even as his best friend Charles Brandon suggests that she is no virgin.
Anne (Natalie Portman) and Mary (Scarlett Johansson) Boleyn are two competitive sisters in the 16th century who are both after the same prize: King Henry VIII (Eric Bana). Luckily for them, Henry isn’t choosy, so he alternates between the beautiful women. Unluckily for one of them, she’ll find her neck underneath the executioner’s blade.
