Lizzie hates Henry as well , even more so when he insists on getting her pregnant before committing himself to marry her .

Planning to accompany him to secretly rally York supporters , Lizzie 's mother Elizabeth is instead neutralized by Henry 's own mother Margaret Beaufort and locked up in Westminster Palace . Henry survives an assassination attempt by Yorkist Francis Lovell but suspects Lizzie 's involvement ; she recognizes it as her mother 's handiwork , and denounces any intentions to actually kill Henry . In his absence , Lizzie wins favor with the common people by seizing funds from the Royal Treasury to aid those threatened by the sweating sickness . Though she is unable to convince Henry to free her young cousin Teddy Plantagenet from the Tower of London , Lizzie reinforces Henry 's growing attachment to her . `` Burgundy '' Jamie Payne Emma Frost April 30 , 2017 ( 2017 - 04 - 30 ) 0.784 Lizzie gives birth to Prince Arthur , and finds common ground with Henry .

Margaret Beaufort , the King 's Mother , arranges a disturbance that sends Teddy back to the Tower as a threat to Henry 's rule . Henry defeats the pretender 's forces and shows mercy to the boy . Though Margaret declares the Dowager Queen Elizabeth complicit in the conspiracy , Henry declines executing his wife 's mother . 5 `` Traitors '' Alex Kalymnios Loren McLaughlan & Amy Roberts May 14 , 2017 ( 2017 - 05 - 14 ) 0.951 Margaret of Burgundy is rallying European support around a boy she recognizes as the true heir to the English throne , Lizzie 's brother Richard Plantagenet , the Duke of York .

Henry and Lizzie name their own son Henry as the Duke of York , but Lizzie 's mother , the Dowager Queen , interrupts the ceremony with a pronouncement that her son , the rightful King of England , is alive in Burgundy . Though partially convinced of Richard 's authenticity , Maggie declares him an impostor when questioned by Henry . Jasper learns that Margaret Beaufort , the King 's Mother , ordered the murders of the Princes in the Tower and is outraged ; to preserve her secret , Margaret smothers a sick Jasper to death while he is in bed . 6 `` English Blood on English Soil '' Alex Kalymnios Emma Frost & Alice Nutter May 21 , 2017 ( 2017 - 05 - 21 ) 0.792 William Stanley is executed for his support to the pretender Perkin Warbeck , who -- through a marriage with the Scottish noblewoman Catherine Gordon -- is gaining the support of most European kingdoms except Spain .

Lizzie offers up an imposter to be executed in Warbeck 's place , but Margaret of Burgundy is not fooled . Henry nearly strangles his mother as he realizes that she murdered the Princes in the Tower , cursing his bloodline . With the ruse discovered , Lizzie realizes that the only way to secure the alliance with Spain and assure her sons ' futures is to allow her brother and Teddy to be executed .
