The Tudors presents the rarely dramatized, tumultuous early years of King Henry VIII's nearly 40-year reign (1509-47). In addition to his famous female consorts, his more than 20 years of marriage to Catherine of Aragon, and his infamous dalliance with Anne Boleyn, the series delves into Henry's notable political relationships and his move to divorce England from the Roman Catholic Church. Starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers as the young Henry, the Emmy Award-winning series portrays the monarch as never before -- a fierce warrior, impetuous lover, impassioned leader, and rebellious youth who became one of the most powerful men in the world at the age of 19. This Season 1 set collects on four discs the ten episodes that Showtime aired in 2007 and includes a behind-the-scenes look at the Emmy-winning wardrobe; the series' lush production and favorite locations in contemporary London; and free episodes of the Showtime series Californication, This American Life, and Penn & Teller B.S.!; and a free digital download of Californication.
