‘History tells us a few things, largely about men and war. For the rest of humanity, we must draw our own, often wild, conclusions…’
Based on the historical novel “Queen’s Gambit” by Elizabeth Fremantle “Firebrand” takes place in blood-soaked Tudor England, ravaged by plague and religious unrest, Henry VIII’s (Jude Law) kingdom has fallen into disarray. With the King overseas, his sixth wife, and Queen Regent, dreams of a land free from tyranny. Her name is KATHERINE PARR (Alicia Vikander).
When an increasingly ailing and paranoid King returns from war overseas, he turns his fury on the radicals, charging Katherine’s childhood friend with treason and burns her at the stake. Horrified and grieving, but forced to deny it, Katherine finds herself fighting for her own survival. Conspiracy reverberates through the palace. Everyone holds their breath – for the queen to slip up, for Henry to take her head like wives before.
