Henry's father had won and defended the crown in battle. To Henry this was the mark of true regal legitimacy and he desired even greater glory. This episode traces Henry's quest to become a major player in Europe, his successes at the Battle of the Spurs and the Field of the Cloth of Gold, and his eventual humiliation after the Battle of Pavia. By 1525 Henry was having a classic mid-life crisis, with the all too familiar desire to replace his ageing spouse with a younger model.
