After reaching out to the Emperor for help in making his case with the Pope, Henry begins courting Jane Seymour as he prepares to find a way out of his doomed marriage to Anne.

As the loss of another baby prompts Henry to step up his courtship of Jane Seymour, Cromwell gathers evidence pointing to Anne's many lovers.

On the eve of Anne's execution, Henry proposes to marry Lady Jane Seymour.
