Historical Inaccuracies - 'The Tudors', Series 1, Episode 3

• Henry tells Charles Brandon that his sister, Margaret, is to marry the King of Portugal. This contains several inaccuracies. Firstly, Henry's elder sister Margaret was married to James IV of Scotland in 1503. His younger sister, Mary, had been married to the aging King Louis of France, not Portugal, but this took place some years before the series is set (Louis is dead and Francis I is King in the series). 
• Henry makes Brandon the Duke of Suffolk. In reality, he did this after the French campaign of 1513.
• In the masque, the castle is defended by ladies, when in real life those parts were played by boys from the chapel royal. Henry takes the part of 'honesty', when he actually played 'amourness'.
• Thomas Boleyn gives William Cornish, the pageant master, some money for putting Anne in the masque. Anne would actually have been chosen because of her own merits.
• Brandon did not accompany Mary to France (not Margaret to Portugal, grr). He was sent to pick her up after her husband died. At that point they married in secret. At the time the series is set, they were already Duke and Duchess of Suffolk, Henry had forgiven them, and they were happy. 
•  The emperor had already visited England briefly, as King of Spain, just before the Field of Cloth of Gold. He did then visit again in 1522.
• Henry's interest in Anne did not begin until several years later, in about 1525-1526.
• St. Paul's Cross, in London, looks like it's in a farm, when in fact it was a well-known public preaching point where people would often gather to hear preachers.
• They keep showing fireworks, when I don't think England had fireworks at this time. 
• Richard Pace, the secretary, was not arrested. He did, however, have a bit of a nervous breakdown and was removed as secretary.
• Traitors Gate wasn't called Traitors Gate at this time.
