Season 3, Episode 3: Dissension and Punishment
Henry spends Christmas with Mary, now declared legitimate again, and her ex-nanny, the mother of Reginald Pole. Jane and Mary also reconcile him with daughter Elizabeth. Another guest is Robert Aske, whom the king promises a Northern parliament, based in York. Aske’s followers do not believe him and resume the Pilgrimage but they are crushed and the leaders hanged, Aske being imprisoned. Brandon is guilt-ridden and feels Henry has betrayed them, giving Cromwell the chance to lord it over him. Henry however rejoices in Jane’s recently declared pregnancy.
