Historical Inaccuracies - 'The Tudors', Series 1, Episode 6

• Thomas Boleyn talks to Henry about things he found out in his post as Comptroller of the Household. This is set after Boleyn is made Lord Rochford. In reality, he had to resign his post as Comptroller when he was elevated to the peerage, as it was not seemly for a Lord to have a 'proper job'. He complained about it endlessly, as he had derived substantial income from the office.
• Wolsey is shown walking into the throne room and past the throne without doffing his hat. Everyone was meant to doff their hat and bow at the throne, even when the King was not there, and the throne room was strictly guarded and off limits to all but a very few people.
• In the final scene, Anne Boleyn is shown wearing a rediculous head-dress, which certainly would not have existed at the time. Women did wear head-dresses, but these were meant to be demure and certainly not as elaborate. The most common types in England at the time were the 'gable hood' (worn by Jane Seymour in her portrait) and the 'French hood' (worn by Anne Boleyn in her portraits).
