The Big Picture Even if the story of Sky’s Mary & George was more fiction than history, it would make for a compelling and shocking story. But with Julianne Moore and Nicholas Galitzine headlining as the mother-son duo of Mary Villiers and George Villiers, Mary & George captures a piece of English history that’s marred by deception and treachery. Based on media journalist Benjamin Wooley’s book The King’s Assassin, the seven-episode Sky series, which will be released in the U.S.
Nicknamed as “Steenie” by King James I , George caught the fascination of the reigning English monarch in the year 1614 at Apethorpe Palace in Northamptonshire. In the Sky series, Mary’s role in placing George tactfully in the vicinity of King James I is highlighted, as it’s largely agreed upon that Mary had a pivotal role to play in George’s ascendance among English aristocrats.
Comparing his relationship with George to that of Christ’s relationship with his disciple John, King James extended a unique position to George that allowed the man to yield immense influence in the English court. As suggested by historian Emma Dabiri in a feature for BBC, King James and George’s strong and intimate relationship, which was also sexual in nature to some extent, can be inferred from the letters exchanged between the two.
After the king’s death, George became a mentor to Charles I. It is suggested that it was George’s attitude that led to the failed negotiations in Spain, and to compensate for his failure, George put out a call for a war against Spain, which did not yield much success, unfortunately.
