Divorced. Beheaded. Died. Divorced. Beheaded. Survived.

It's been over five hundred years since the Tudor family sat on the throne of England, and we still can't get enough of their story. From feature films and prestige television shows to Tony-nominated Broadway musicals, our pop culture is still positively obsessed with the rise of King Henry VIII. We are fascinated with the women whose lives he destroyed, and the country he left forever changed in his wake.

Whether it's the soapy melodrama of it all that draws our attention, the strong women at its center—from Henry's six wives to his exceptional daughters—or our simple cultural fascination with the monarchical systems of government. Either way, thank goodness there are plenty of Tudor-themed dramas, with the ever-present prospect of more on the horizon.
