With Henry VIII recently dead and his young son Edward VI (Warren Saire) on the throne, the noble families of England are rapidly positioning themselves to provide him with a wife, or even better, an heir. It's the scheming Northumberland (John Wood) who conceives a plan with the equally ambitious Suffolk (Patrick Stewart) and his wife (Sara Kestelman) to marry his own son Guilford (Cary Elwes) to their daughter…
Some of the greatest battles are fought with the heart.
The death of King Henry VIII throws his kingdom into chaos because of succession disputes. His weak son, Edward, is on his deathbed. Anxious to keep England true to the Reformation, a scheming minister John Dudley marries off his son, Guildford to Lady Jane Grey, whom he places on the throne after Edward dies. At first hostile to each other, Guildford and Jane fall in love, but they cannot withstand the course of power which will lead to their ultimate downfall.
