- King Henry VIII: [shouting in anger at the doctor] These men are not sick from the phlox but from cowardice, and I will not send cowards home. They will either fight, or I'll hang them by the wayside! You get them from their sickbeds back into that trench, or you'll find yourself a head shorter!
- Brigitte: What are you thinking?
- Charles Brandon: [Smiling] That I was dead and am alive again. Let me look at you.
- Brigitte: [after several moments she slowly slips off her garment and stands naked in front of them. When he doesn't react, she laughs] Say something.

- Mary Tudor: [to Ambassador Bishop Chapuys] I'm a lot older than I was when I first knew you. And wiser. I do not know If I shall ever be married. Or if I will ever be queen. Probably neither. But if I do become queen I swear to you now on the Holy Gospels and on the soul of my mother that I will make England faithful again! I will do whatever it takes! I will burn however many heretics I have to! I will spill as much blood as I have to to make this unfortunate realm Catholic again, and heal it, so help me God!
