《美国公共电视网：走进亨利八世的宫廷》 PBS: Inside the Court of Henry VIII

 

 Henry VIII is the most iconic king of English history. Part medieval tyrant, part renaissance prince, he ruled over his people as no king of England had ever done before. He took a country salvaged by his father from the wreck of civil war and set over it a single, sovereign ruler. By the end of his reign the power of the Tudor dynasty was absolute — but at a terrible cost. Personally responsible for the death of two of his own wives, along with many of his closest friends and advisors, he is said to have ordered the execution of up to 72,000 Britons. His reign will go down as one of the bloodiest in history.

亨利八世是英国历史上最具有标志性的国王。既是中世纪暴君，又是文艺复兴时期的王子，他以不同于在他之前在位的所有国王的方式统治着他的臣民。他从父亲手中接过在经历了一场内战（玫瑰战争）之后满目疮痍的国家，以唯一君主的姿态出现在人们面前。在接近他的统治尾声的时候，都铎王朝的权力是绝对的；虽然这是以巨大的代价实现的。他的两位的妻子死在他手里，还有其他许多他最亲密的朋友和大臣；据说他下令处决了将近7.2万英国人。他统治的时期是英国历史上最血腥的时期。

由shihongmei2828在 整理的参考文本：
The king's loyal commoner and ardent reformer is now the dominating figure in government. But in Henry's court, your days are always numbered. Court painter, Hans Holbein produces what wil become the classical portrait of the king. In the three years since his jousting accident, Henry's weight has mushroomed.

-The sumptuous feasts weren't being worked off. He just became heavier and heavier. He had no way of losing that weight.

The ulcerous wounds on his legs are worse. He now suffers bouts of agonising pain. He is also in mourning. New queen, Jane Seymour, had died two years earlier. But in Henry's eyes, she died in a noble cause, childbirth. Henry's quest for a male heir is over. Young Prince Edward will one day rule in his dead. Now the king has a new obsession. Originally, Henry saw his break from Rome as a means to an end. But under the urging of Cromwell, Henry has permitted reform of his English Church. Under the Catholics, the Bible could only be read in Latin, but in Henry's Church of England, all men would be able to read the word of God in the king's own great Bible.
