- Jane Seymour: [referring to Robert Aske's rebellion] I beg you, sir, by the deep love I bear you, I beg you to restore the abbeys. This can only be God's judgment for putting them down!
- Henry VIII: God and my conscience are on perfectly good terms, madam. And unless you wish to follow Mistress Boleyn's end, you will not meddle in my affairs!
- Henry VIII: [to Jane] If you had your way, my little nun, every prisoner in the kingdom would go free!
- Thomas Cromwell: You want your sister crowned queen, Master Seymour? Leave it to me. I'm an old hand at it.
- Henry VIII: [Henry and Cromwell are discussing a new wife following the death of Jane Seymour] Princess Madeleine?
- Thomas Cromwell: Yes, Your Majesty?
- Henry VIII: Or this Mary de Guise?
- Thomas Cromwell: Already spoken for by your nephew James, sir.
- Henry VIII: Well, does that matter? Yes, perhaps.
