*THIS IS HISTORY — A DYNASTY TO DIE FOR* 

*Season 10, Episode 11: Last Hope*

It’s 1482.  Margaret Beaufort and her husband, Thomas Stanley hold the most power in Northwest England…and they’re hungry for more.

They’ve asked their pal, King Edward IV, to organise a royal pardon for their exiled son, Henry Tudor, who’s in Brittany. The aim? To marry Edward’s daughter, Elizabeth of York and claim the crown.

But… there's a problem. Richard III has seized the throne, reversed Henry’s pardon and induced nationwide mayhem. 

Backed by Francis, Duke of Brittany, Henry incites a rebellion against Richard and aims to invade England by force. Will he succeed, or will the future of England remain in Richard III’s tyrannical hands?
