Beware the King is the story of England's brutal monarch, Henry VIII, and his love for Anne Boleyn. Anne Boleyn is the prettiest of all the ladies-in-waiting at the court of King Henry VIII. It isn't long before she catches the eye of the king. Bored and unfulfilled by his marriage, and with no heir apparent, Henry is casting his net wide. Anne is in love and cannot see why she would do well to beware the king.
