FAQ for
"The Tudors" (2007)

YES, there will be a Season 3. It was confirmed on April 23rd on Showtime's official site at: http://www.sho.com/site/announcements/20080423.do?source=tudorspromo4.

The third season will focus on Henry's 3rd and 4th marriages to Jane Seymour and Anne of Cleves.

It was swan meat. That's it. No, it did not contain Anne's severed head, though several people apparently thought so. Just swan meat.

There have been many interpretations to this question. The most frequently brought up and the most likely is that swans mate for life. Henry and Anne went into this thinking it was forever; Henry killing one of the swans was symbolic of killing the other's life-mate.

Another is that the swan was, at the time, the royal dish. It could simply by symbolic of the weight Henry VIII is supposed to gain - though so far Henry is still skinny as a stick.

There's also the fact that Anne was said to have had a 'swan-like neck.' Her neck gets chopped off; Henry eats a swan. It could be symbolic of him 'devouring' her, so to speak.

There's no exact right answer to this question. It is open to debate.

At this point he should already weigh quite a lot more than JRM does portraying him. There has been nothing to suggest that they will make him at all physically like Henry VIII was in his later years.
