- When King Francis refuses to approve an engagement involving the baby but proposes one between Mary and the Dauphin, Henry begins to turn against Anne.
- Cromwell convinces Henry the religious houses' immorality justifies spoliation, which even finances plays to show the people the papist 'debauchery'. Henry wants the French king's junior son to marry Anne's daughter Elisabeth. The French envoy, an admiral entertained by duke Charles Brandon, proposes, rather then legitimize the royal son, the dauphin to wed Katherine's daughter Mary- or the emperor's. Charles tells Chapuys he believes Anne is a witch. After More's ghost haunts Henry, Anne further looses openly unfaithful Henry's favor.—KGF Vissers
- The Pope asks the faithful to pray for the English martyrs. The King has been deeply affected by the execution of Sir Thomas More. He's been having nightmares and on one occasion, even thought he saw More's ghost in his bed chamber. He is also growing increasingly disenchanted with Queen Anne since she miscarried. He agrees with her suggestion that they propose to the King of France the engagement of Princess Elizabeth to his youngest son the Duke of Angouleme. A French delegation eventually arrives in England but the French King will not recognize the legitimacy of Henry and Anne's marriage. The King continues having mistresses and the Queen is aware that he's keeping a harem nearby.—garykmcd
- As the Reformation gathers pace, Sir Thomas Cromwell becomes ever more powerful as propagandist-in-chief of a new moral order. Royal confidence has given way to doubt. Henry is haunted by the memory of the executed Thomas More while Queen Anne Boleyn's insecurities border on paranoia. Her husband's affairs continue and an effort to have her daughter Elizabeth betrothed to a French prince fails when the French King refuses to recognise that the infant Princess is of legitimate birth.
