Tudor bloodlines are rewritten in a rollicking historical fantasy romance adapted from the book of the same title penned by Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand and Jodi Meadows. Contrary to pages from history, King Henry VIII's son Edward does not die of tuberculosis and 16th-century noblewoman Lady Jane Grey (Emily Bader) does not lose her head after nine days as the Queen of England. Instead, she seizes control of herdestiny flanked by scoundrel husband Guildford Dudley (Edward Bluemel). Jane's mother, Lady Frances Grey (Anna Chancellor), and Guildford's father, Lord Dudley (Rob Brydon), are entangled in the machinations and skulduggery along with Jane's uncle, the Duke of Leicester (Jim Broadbent)
