A number of clerics take exception to the introduction of Henry's "Six Articles of Faith" doctrine; Henry appoints Brandon the King's representative at court on the occasion of Henry's absence. ~ Ray Stackhouse, Rovi The United States of Tara: Aftermath Tara's alternate personality, perfect housewife Alice, steps in to deal with a disagreement between Marshall and his English teacher (Tony Hale), as well as a behavioral problem involving Kate. ~ Ray Stackhouse, Rovi The Tudors: The Death of a Queen Brandon is unsettled by the viciousness and cruelty with which Henry brings an end to the Catholic uprising as the King puts the leaders to death; and, finally, a male heir is born to Henry and his queen, Jane Seymour, who dies shortly after giving birth. ~ Ray Stackhouse, Rovi The Tudors: Dissension and Punishment With Christmas approaching, Henry reconciles with his estranged daughters, Mary and Elizabeth, while betraying promises he made to leaders of the Catholic rebellion. ~ Ray Stackhouse, Rovi The Tudors: The Northern Uprising Henry sends Charles Brandon (Henry Cavill) to deal with the Catholic uprising; and while confined to bed due to an old jousting injury, the King takes a new mistress, Lady Ursula Misseldon (Charlotte Salt). ~ Ray Stackhouse, Rovi The Tudors: Civil Unrest In the third-season opener, Henry VIII takes his third bride, noblewoman Jane Seymour (Annabelle Wallis), in hopes that he will finally have a male heir. Meanwhile, previously loyal subjects in the North take a stand against Henry's anti-Catholic crusade, which includes seizing millions of pounds in monastic wealth; and his new queen champions the cause of returning his estranged daughter, Princess Mary, to court. ~ Ray Stackhouse, Rovi The Tudors: Problems in the Reformation Cromwell sees a number of assassinations strike close to the court, and that they are actually warnings to him; the King meets with a bishop about writing the doctrine of his majesty's Church of England. ~ Ray Stackhouse, Rovi
