Henry must choose a wife and his mother Margaret Beaufort, backed by parliament, insists he marry Elizabeth to unite the houses of Lancaster and York, over her younger sister Cicely. Whilst Elizabeth's mother does not get the response she wanted Elizabeth finds herself pregnant with Henry's child after a sexual encounter, thus sealing her fate as England's new queen - with an agenda against her husband.
