  1. I have just seen episode 1. When I saw the Royal Hospital, Kilmainham, Dublin being used as location for the Ducal Palace in Urbino, I knew I was in for something dreadful. I was right.

    This bits where Wolsey and the French ambassador discuss an Anglo-French treaty are hilarious. Phrases like “collective security” and “pan-European institutions” !!!

    Whoever scripted this has no sense of history.

  2. had the misfortune to see the second episode last nite 12 Oct. Wot a load of bollocks. The women look like lap dancers!

  3. Yes well, agree with both of you. Henry VIII was not a sexy, gorgeous monarch and was slim for a very short period in his life. He was certainly not some easy going loveable guy. As for the modern phrasing, it made me laugh my socks off.

  4. well if you dont like it DONT watch it !

  5. Henry’s sister Margaret NEVER married the King of Portugal or Charles Brandon she married James V of Scotland & 6th Earl of Angus. His younger sister Mary married Charles Brandon who was her 2nd husband her 1st was the King of France NOT Portugal. There must be so many people who watch a programme like the Tudors & think it must be factual. Why though? I would have thought that there were plenty of interesting facts for a writer without making them up.
