The widowed Catherine Parr is compelled to become Henry VIII’s sixth wife, abandoning her hope of marrying Thomas Seymour. At court she creates a household of learning and religious debate, reunites the royal children and serves as regent while Henry campaigns abroad.

Catherine’s commitment to reform and publication brings her into conflict with conservative councillors. An attempt to accuse her of heresy forces her to manage Henry’s suspicion and temper while protecting the scholars and women connected to her household.
