Alicia has perhaps the spiderwebby-est story she’s ever told, with the 1960s marriage and divorce of actors Brooke Hayward and Dennis Hopper. They were together through the decade and became a central part of the scene - art, politics, music - but the highly combustible nature of their marriage meant it could not last.

After the death of Jane Seymour in 1537, Henry VIII was once again single and looking to mingle.
