Particular attention is paid to the two 'survivors,' Anne of Cleaves and Catherine Parr. Both would go on to have a profound effect upon Elizabeth.

Anne Boleyn has caught the eye of King Henry VIII beginning one of history's greatest games of cat and mouse. For seven long years, the Great Matter was the talk of London, as the King sought to divorce his wife Katherine in favor of her maid; a woman would was intent on remaining a maid until the King finally decided to put a ring on it. We will examine her legacy and the effect that her decision-making had upon her daughter - Elizabeth the first.

This is the first in a series of nine episodes regarding England's greatest monarch, Elizabeth I. Before the Queen makes an appearance, however, this episode details the early life/reign of her father, Henry VIII. His path to power, including marrying the wife of his deceased brother despite warnings from the Church, have huge implications for the both of his surviving daughters.

This is the final episode on a series about the physicist Albert Einstein. With World War II behind him, Albert settles into life in Princeton intent of finishing his Unified Field Theory. Little did he know that the end of his story would involve Russian spies, an offer to become the President of Israel, and his brain literally crisscrossing North America in search for a scientist capable of understanding the man who remains synonymous with the term Genius.

This is the fifth in a series of six episodes on the physicist Albert Einstein. World War II is underway and Einstein is ready to shed his pacifist ways and do everything that he can to help the allies defeat Adolph Hitler and the Nazis. His past, however, results in him being excluded from the Manhattan Project, despite the fact that it was Einstein's warning that began the process of building a bomb powerful enough to end the world.

This is the fourth in a series of six episodes on the physicist Albert Einstein. Hitler's rise to power puts Albert Einstein in harms' way as rising antisemitism drives him from his newly acquired house in the outskirts of Berlin. Rather than using his fame to flee, Einstein regularly speaks out against Nazi rule, eventually resulting in a dossier being published with Albert Einstein listed as the number one target. Beneath his photo were the words 'not yet hanged.'

This is the second in a series of six episodes on the physicist Albert Einstein. This episode focuses on Einstein's development of the Theory of Relativity, the launching of which will eventually propel him to superstardom within the scientific community. At the time of its formation, however, Einstein was merely a lowly patent clerk trying to make ends meet. His dreams of Professorship had been dashed by his inability to rise to the challenges of a college campus, something that this episode examines in depth.

This is the first in a series of six episodes on the physicist Albert Einstein. This episode gate-keeps the term Genius, while walk through Albert's family life and his early schooling experience at the much maligned Luitpold Gymnasium. Throughout the episode, you'll bear witness to Einstein's struggle to fit within outside expectations as well as lucid moments of thought about the unseen world around him. Both would contribute to his academic rise.
