Die Thronfolgerin (1953)
Von ihrem Vater, Heinrich VIII, immer wieder abgeschoben und dann wieder zurückgeholt, ganz nach seiner Lust und Laune, erlebt Elizabeth bei ihrer Stiefmutter Catherine Parr endlich sowas wie Geborgenheit. Bess, wie sie genannt wird, wurde von Lord Thomas Seymour von ihrem Exil Hatfield House auf Wunsch des Königs abgeholt. Dabei verliebt sie sich, jetzt bereits ein Teenager, in den charmanten Mann. Nach dem Tod des Monarchen wird Thomas Seymour's Bruder Ned Lordprotektor und zugleich Vormund über den minderjährigen, zarten Eduard und bestimmt die Geschicke des Landes.
