S8 E1 | A Hole in the Head
Season 8 Episode 1
Turns out, wearing the crown is the easy part.
Henry IV thought kingship would bring control—but the treasury’s running dry, rebellions are flaring, and his grip on power is slipping fast. Then his heir takes an arrow to the face.
This is the story of a king learning the hard way that ruling is a whole different game—and the consequences are about to get bloody.
