When Henry VII defeated King Richard III on the battlefield during the Battle of Bosworth Field, he dreamed of a dynasty on the throne that would last for centuries. But within 125 years of the end of the wars of the Roses, the Tudor dynasty would come to a whimpering end as the death of the brilliant Elizabeth I took place and break the hearts of the nation. Inside the Tudor family was the notorious King Henry VIII who had 6 wives and two of these he had executed inside of the walls of the Tower of London. But also there was Mary I, who was also known as Bloody Mary. It was a time period that changed England forever, but because of the intrigue around the Tudor monarchs many of the most prominent Tudors were dug up following their deaths, or they had their burial vaults disturbed a number of times. In this documentary we will look at the different times that the Tudor monarchs had their burial vaults or coffins broken into, and what these people would find would be incredibly shocking and at times harrowing. This is opening the coffins of the Tudor Kings and Queens.
