We left “The Tudors” last week with the placement of a letter by an unknown hand. Joan Bulmer and Lady Rochford are starting to have second thoughts about the meeting of Catherine and Culpepper. The Scene opens with King Henry having a meeting with John Seymour speaking of the letter that was given to him during Mass. The King calls it a letter of living Forgery and intended as malice. John Seymour is commanded to investigate and Queen Catherine is confined to her chambers until her name is cleared. The queen is dancing with her ladies in waiting when the soldiers take all of her servants besides Lady Rochford. Francis Dereham is under arrest and Sir Richard starts to investigate further. First he interviews Joan Bulmer. We find more of the past of the Queen when Henry Mannax is revealed to be the lover of Catherine before the King with intention to be married and under fear of death by the Duchess and he is told that he is forbidden to even think of marriage. In tears Joan reveals the intimate details of Catherine’s past to which she reveals that it was Francis Dereham who then became Catherine’s lover. Next we see smug boy turned quiet, Fransis Dereham being interviewed by John Seymour and he says that he only played games nothing all. However, the topic of Carnal Knowledge of Catherine Howard is under question. Francis denies it to which he is then brought to the torture room and obliges to tell the truth. Not so smug now we see. ..
