Quotes 

• Jasper Tudor : Margaret? You're angry with me. As I am with myself. We were so close...

  Margaret Beaufort : I do not wish to hear how close you were!

  Jasper Tudor : So close to peace. What was it you thought I meant?

  Margaret Beaufort : She is a York! Of all things. How could you even think to...

• Jasper Tudor : You are recovered from them? The King tells me the Queen would have me wed.

  Margaret Beaufort : She wishes to draw attention from her own sister.

  Jasper Tudor : If it would benefit the King then I will do whatever is asked of me, but if not, then... I would sooner have my leave to stay at court.

  Margaret Beaufort : At court?

  Jasper Tudor : I would like us to speak plainly, Margaret.

  Sir Thomas Stanley : Dance, wife?

• Jasper Tudor : They have arrived in Ireland with a fleet of ships and 2,000 Flemish mercenaries. The Irish have welcomed them with open arms and they are preparing to invade.

  Henry VII : I must fight to save my crown against a peasant boy.

  Princess Elizabeth : When do you ride out?

  Henry VII : Dawn.

• Jasper Tudor : My Lady Margaret. Will you walk with me?

  Margaret Beaufort : Of course.

  Jasper Tudor : What I, um, tried to say to you before was that what I found in Burgundy was...

  Margaret Beaufort : Please, Jasper...

  Jasper Tudor : Was nothing more than the truth about myself. My life has been a full one, Margaret, but it has been lonely.

  Margaret Beaufort : You wish to marry.

  Jasper Tudor : I... I do not want. Well, I would. If circumstances allowed. You told me once that your marriage to Lord Stanley was for us to put our boy upon the throne.

  Margaret Beaufort : That's right.

  Jasper Tudor : If this is the truth of it then the Church permits annulments, does it not? If the marriage isn't... I... I do not wish to cause embarrassment, to you or to myself. Your faith, it is essence of you. So, if I speak out of turn, then you must tell me. We have lived our lives for Henry. And I do not regret a moment of it. But now, in twilight years... Might we not venture to cherish something for ourselves? Will you think on it while I am gone? That's all I ask.

• Margaret Beaufort : Jasper.

  Jasper Tudor : I feared you were avoiding me.

  Margaret Beaufort : I have found a wife for you. Kate Woodville. The Dowager Queen's sister. The King has given his blessing to the marriage. Her fortune is significant. It will benefit the Tudor cause.

  Jasper Tudor : I see.

  Margaret Beaufort : We will see each other at the Privy Council. And work for Henry's cause. As we have always done.
