About How the Tudors Lost Their Heads

Historians Dan Snow and Professor Suzannah Lipscomb investigate the lives and deaths of some of Tudor England's most fascinating figures, including Anne Boleyn, Mary, Queen of Scots, and Perkin Warbeck, who claimed to be one of the famed Princes in the Tower. 

Dan and Suzie seek clues in spectacular castles and palaces across Britain and rest of Europe, gain rare access to archives, and reveal new evidence that helps expose the truth behind the executions. Were these iconic figures architects of their own downfall or casualties of ruthless political power plays? 

The series combines cinematic storytelling with cutting-edge research as we reassess some of the Tudor era's most notorious, controversial and misunderstood individuals. If you want to understand the Tudors, get to know who they executed - and why.
