SUNDAY, AUGUST 13 @ 10:00PM

Henry VIII is the most iconic king of English history. Part medieval tyrant, part renaissance prince, he ruled over his people as no king of England had ever done before. He took a country salvaged by his father from the wreck of civil war and set over it a single, sovereign ruler. By the end of his reign the power of the Tudor dynasty was absolute — but at a terrible cost. Personally responsible for the death of two of his own wives, along with many of his closest friends and advisors, he is said to have ordered the execution of up to 72,000 Britons. His reign will go down as one of the bloodiest in history.

On New Year’s Day 2010, Little Hope Baptist Church, on the outskirts of Canton, Texas, burned to the ground. Officials concluded the fire was caused by an electrical problem in the century-old church’s wiring. But when nine more churches went up in flames over the span of just a few weeks, the rural communities of East Texas feared for the worst.
