The Royal Court: The year is 1543 and King Henry VIII is visiting Revel Grove as part of his yearly royal progress. However, this visit is of a more personal nature, for he hopes to take the lovely Katherine Parr as his sixth wife.
The King's attentions have put Katherine in a difficult position. Twice-widowed, she has fallen in love the charming but impetuous Sir Thomas Seymour. It seemed that she could at last marry for love instead of duty. But the King's sudden proposal has left her sorely conflicted. Does she once again do her duty -- or will matters of the heart prevail?
The Village:
Alas, Sir Richard Southwell, formerly Justice of the Peace of Oxfordshire and now Mayor of Revel Grove, finds that yet another year has passed and he is still mayor of this small village. He would much rather pursue a career at Court. Thankfully, the King and members of his Royal Court will be visiting Revel Grove for the harvest festival. Sir Richard hopes perhaps a word in the right ear can further his career.
But all may not go as planned, for a contingent from the nearby rival village, Tiddington, has decided to pay a visit. It seems the villagers of Tiddington are becoming highly annoyed that the King constantly bypasses their village during his yearly visits. An delegation arrives to sell the charms of Tiddington to the King. Expect dirty dealings, as the Mayor of Tiddington is none other than Middle J. Middle, former Sheriff of Revel Grove!
