Quotes
-
Margaret Beaufort : King James of Scotland has settled his headquarters on the borders at Ladykirk, where he's just built a beautiful church. Ah, come now. He's an educated man. He speaks several languages.
Meg Tudor : Well, then, I wish him the plague in all of them.
Margaret Beaufort : My dear child, that is how every woman feels about her husband at first. You know, I was married twelwe years old. I'd only had one monthly course, just one, before I was with child. And that child was your father. You must do your duty, just as I did, for your father, for me, for poor, dear Arthur. You must wed to keep the country safe.
Meg Tudor : I will see my baby brother born. No one will deny me that.
Margaret Beaufort : [she hears bird] Oh, what is that infernal noise?

[Lizzie whispers to his ear]
King Henry Tudor : What? Why would you say that? Why would you say such a thing?
