Hadley Smith stars as Robert Devereux in How the Tudors Lost Their Heads
Hadley Smith has been cast as Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex in How the Tudors Lost Their Heads, a National Geographic/Disney+ production.
The six-part documentary series, presented by historians Dan Snow MBE and Professor Suzannah Lipscomb, examines the executions that defined Tudor England, working backwards from each death to uncover the events that led there. This episode traces Essex's fall from favoured confidante of Elizabeth I to a failed rebellion and execution, drawing on new forensic evidence and historical research.
