Three of history's most fascinating and often misunderstood women - Henry VIII's first three wives - are confined to a room for eternity to accept the truth of their pasts. Was Katherine of Aragon really a saint? Was Anne Boleyn truly the temptress and adulterer that legend makes us believe? Was Jane Seymour Henry's doormat wife? And what about Mary Boleyn - Anne's sister? Was she really a nobody stuck in Anne's shadow?
