Historical Innacuracies - 'The Tudors', Series 2, Episode 7

  • Henry decides to visit Wolf Hall, home of the Seymours, whilst hunting. Wolf Hall was actually too far to visit on a normal hunting excursion, but Henry and Anne went there whilst on progress in 1535.
  • Whilst at Wolf Hall, Henry is introduced to Jane Seymour, wife number 3. However, Henry would have already known Jane as she had been a lady in waiting to Anne, and to Katherine previously.
  • The celebration at the end of the episode seems to be for May Day. In reality, Katherine of Aragon died in January (Henry and Anne did celebrate this), and Anne was executed in May, so the timing in the episode is wrong.
