There are parts that are totally inaccurate! Henry 8 had 2 sisters, Margaret & Mary. They’ve ignored Henry 8th’s 2nd sister, Mary. She was married to the king of France and she married Charles Brandon after the king of France died. She did not suffocate the king of Portugal. Her daughter married Lord Grey, and their child was Lady Jane Grey, queen for 8 days. Margaret didn’t die of consumption. She was never married to the king of Portugal. She was the grandmother of Mary, Queen of Scots. Wolsey didn’t necessarily die of suicide. Most historical references say he got sick and died. This is a fun series to watch but as to historical accuracy, take w/a liberal dose of skepticism. I am a bit of a Tudor-Stuart period fan. I’ve read a lot of the period history and have visited some of the sites in the UK.
