Henry loses a wrestling match to Francis, and Cardinal Wolsey barely manages to stop the angry monarch from walking away from the treaty. After learning that Spain’s King Charles V has been elected Holy Roman Emperor, Henry instructs Wolsey to begin making arrangements for an alliance that excludes the French, unaware that it may jeopardize the Cardinal’s plan to be elected Pope. After preparing his daughter, Mary, to entertain Henry, Sir Thomas Boleyn warns Wolsey of the assassination plot being hatched by Buckingham. But before Buckingham can execute his plan, he is arrested for treason and beheaded.
