Wolsey proposes a marriage match between Princess Mary and the Emperor. Wolsey says that he wants to form a treaty which will bind the Emperor and Henry VIII in “perpetual friendship”. More tells them that the King is writing a pamphlet against what Luther is teaching and defending the Papacy and the Catholic faith. More advises them that the only way to get the ear of the king is through the ear of Cardinal Wolsey.

Thomas More meets the Imperial envoys, Chapuys and Mendoza. Brandon points out that he is not important enough to give away Margaret on the King’s behalf so Henry tells him that he is making him Duke of Suffolk. Brandon is betrothed to Lady Elizabeth Grey, daughter of the Marquis of Dorset. The King tells Charles Brandon that he wants him to escort his sister, the Princess Margaret, and her dowry to Lisbon because she is going to marry the King of Portugal. The episode opens with a rehearsal of the Chateau Vert pageant, organised by Master Cornysh, which appears to be a complete disaster.
