The Tudors (2007-10) Henry VIII and his six wives [强] 都铎王朝 亨利八世 执政三十八年 六个老婆 忙忙碌碌的一生 刚刚出来时看了几集. 最近再续前缘 看完四季. 主要觉得床铺和亨挺相像 里面还有王熙凤 杨贵妃 和珅 [偷笑] Sir Thomas More  一身正气 … 但是他🔥死了六个异教徒. 他不赞同亨利休原配娶小三 …临被斩首前说 “I die the King’s good servant, and God’s first”. 唉

亨的女儿玛丽做了短短5年女王 全力追杀异教徒 鸡尾酒Bloody Mary由此而来. 宗教信仰的力量巨巨无霸
