Historical Innacuracies - 'The Tudors', Series 3, Episode 3

  • Hans Holbein, the painter, has a slight altercation with another man, who is meant to be the fiance of Lady Miselden, Henry's mistress. As Lady Miselden is a fictional character, this did not happen, although Henry's statement about seven lords not being equal to one Holbein is accurate.
  • Suffolk is shown implementing punishment on the people for the rebellion. In fact, as stated previously, it was the Duke of Norfolk who was Henry's representative in the North. 
  • The poker in the bum scene is rather unnecessary. I'm not sure if Constable was tortured but, if he was, it probably wasn't by Edward Seymour and a red hot poker. 
  • Henry did not visit Aske in prison, as is depicted.
