Hugh has Miles and Edward captured, but Edith helps them escape and Edward convinces Miles that he (Edward) really is the rightful King and offers to restore him to his honour as a Knight. Miles takes Edward to Hendon Hall, where Miles is outraged to discover his brother Hugh Hendon has married Miles' love interest Lady Edith and taken Hendon Hall for himself. Outside, Edward meets Miles, having survived his fall. After winning a fight with one of the gang members, Edward leaves and John goes after him to beat him again, but is killed by another member of Ruffler's gang. However, they are unfriendly and reveal that word has reached them of Henry VIII's death. In some woods, John and Edward are escorted by some unfriendly men to a cavern where Ruffler's gang hide out. During a banquet, Henry VIII dies in his royal chamber and Tom commands that The Duke of Norfolk shall not die. At the castle, Henry VIII has fallen ill since the morning after the masked ball and he orders for no one to declare that Tom is not the Prince, not even Tom himself. John is declared a murderer and he flees London with Edward. But when John attempts to beat Edward, Miles intervenes and a fight breaks out, resulting in John pushing Miles off a roof into a stream. Meanwhile, despite Edward repeatedly claiming that he is the Prince of Wales, Miles says he believes him, but actually doesn't and takes him to John Canty where Edward discovers what Tom's life is like. At the masked ball, The Duke of Norfolk is arrested and Henry VIII and the guests laugh at Tom's dancing, despite Tom repeatedly claiming that he's not the Prince of Wales. Outside, Edward is rescued by skilled swordsman Sir Miles Hendon. However, Edward is mistaken for Tom by The Duke of Norfolk, who orders for him to be escorted out of the palace. Interested that Tom looks like him, Edward decides they swap appearances and clothes to attend the masked ball, but adds that the Prince's Seal stays with the true Prince. Tom introduces himself and explains his situation. Tom falls down the chimney into the chamber and Edward demands to know who he is. In his royal chamber, Prince Edward of Wales insists on not wearing a costume to the masked ball and his dressers leave him. In the grounds, Henry VIII orders for The Duke of Norfolk to be arrested during the masked ball that evening. However, Tom outruns them by going to the roof of the castle and hiding in a chimney. Tom escapes by climbing up a wall and through a window, where he falls into a palace garden in front of King Henry VIII, who sets the guards on him. Thinking that Tom still has the purse, the rich man and other men chase Tom through the streets of London. Tom goes into the city square and steals a purse from a rich man, but drops it after bumping into another man. In 16th century London, a pauper called Tom Canty reads to a group a children but is attacked by his cruel father John Canty and threatened that he will be beaten if he does not steal five shillings by suppertime.
