Historical Inaccuracies - 'The Tudors', Series 1, Episode 4

• As a point of interest, Henry did not adopt the title 'your majesty' until the 1530s. Before that, he used 'your grace'. This would have been confusing in the series as the Dukes were also addressed as 'your grace', so I can understand why they used the other one.
• Henry addresses his sister and wishes her well for her trip abroad. Then everyone kneels on the bare wooden floor to pray. This would not have happened. The religious service would have taken place in the palace chapel, not in the great hall, and Henry would have observed the service from his 'closet', which was a private area in the chapel just for him. He never would have knelt on the floor. 
• Henry is shown going into a church service with his wife and sitting on chairs near the altar. Again, Henry would have observed church services in this 'closet', with the Queen also having her own closet. They would have only gone into the main body of the church to recieve holy sacrament. As an aside, Henry often conducted state business during these services, as it was perhaps the only time when officials like Wolsey would find him sitting in one place! 
• Anne Boleyn is shown travelling to her family's home in a carriage which would not have been common until the 18th century.
• Wolsey mentions a new 'visitor', Marguerite of Navarre. Marguerite was actually sister to the King of France, and as such, any visit by her would have been an occasion of much formality and not one which Henry would be unaware about. All of which is somewhat irrelevant, as she never did visit England. 
• Thomas Boleyn tells the Duke of Norfolk that Wolsey has just appointed himself Bishop of Winchester, as the previous Bishop died. The series has the date of this wrong. If we are to assume that the episode is set during the early-mid 1520s (Henry not yet persuing his divorce etc), the current Bishop would be the elderly Richard Fox, who did not die until 1528. Wolsey did appoint himself as Bishop in 1529 but only served for a year.
• Henry is once again shown dining in the great hall without the canopy of estate, which he would have dined under. The canopy of estate was a highly important indicator of his status (and also that of royal children, who also dined under their own canopy). 
• Thomas More talks about his friendship with the King and how, if his head were to win a castle, the King would have it cut off. This anecdote was in fact told to his son-in-law, William Roper, and not at the court.
• The jousting accident where Henry was hit in the face occured when he was jousting against Charles Brandon, not Knyvet. 
• The scene where Margaret Tudor meets the elderly King of Portugal is completely false, as it was actually Mary Tudor, Henry's younger sister, who was married to the King of France. I mentioned this in my comments on episode 3.
• Margaret did not smother the King of Portugal. In reality, Mary was married to King Louis of France for only a short period of time before he suddenly died, of what people at the time thought was over-exertion in the bedroom.
