Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both scenes feature King Henry VIII using public occasions to assert his authority over foreign diplomats and domestic rivals: in Episode 103 he exiles Stephen Gardiner while the French Ambassador looks on; in Episode 105 he publicly humiliates Chapuys by demoting Katherine of Aragon, with the French Ambassador again present."
