Monarchy Season 2 Full Episode Guide

Episode 4 - The Stuart Succession
First Aired: October. 03,2005

he historian examines the reign of James I, the first king of both England and Scotland. From the outset, the new monarch had little time for Parliament and did what he could to limit its influence. His son Charles I went further, effectively removing the government and ruling alone - but when he needed their help to enforce religious rule on the Scots, the resulting conflict led to two civil wars and the monarch was eventually executed

Episode 3 - The Shadow of the King
First Aired: September. 26,2005

The historian examines the reigns of Henry VIII's three children, revealing how the king's advice to pursue moderation in matters of religion fell on deaf ears as his son Edward enforced extreme Protestantism on the country, only for eldest daughter Mary to reimpose Catholicism after his death. Elizabeth I initially embraced her father's words, but when Mary Queen of Scots arrived in England, religious tensions rose again

Episode 2 - King and Emperor
Episode 1 - The Crown Imperial
First Aired: September. 12,2005

The historian continues his examination of the British monarchy, from the beginnings of the Tudor dynasty to the English Civil War.
