After the previous episode, I no longer expect any historical correspondence. I'm surprised when they don't lie, but it rarely happens, even in small things. The people of England did not like the foreign queen at all (like any normal people). She was pitied and loved only after the divorce. It's a brooch.
@samural: From the very first episode, I look at it as "based on motives", I don't feel the spirit of that time, and there is less and less historical correspondence there. Including the chronology of events.
Everyone writes about the historical discrepancy, the appearance of the actors, which in my opinion is not paramount, even if they twist everything, as long as the plot is interesting) But the quality of the footage is just awful. The ship carrying Princess Margaret looks like it was cut out of a cheap computer game, and all the remaining landscapes also leave much to be desired, everything is so crooked that it hurts the eyes.
@diana_nekozyreva: 2007 is not 1997, at that time everything was fine with the graphics, take into account at least that by 2007 3 parts of Pirates of the Caribbean had already been released, where everything was fine with the ships)
I even felt sorry for Henry at the end of the episode. Considering how some of Henry's next wives will end up, divorce is really far from the worst option.
@illseethese: learning history from TV shows is not a good idea, if anything. The Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire (in question) has nothing in common with the Roman Empire in our understanding. The Holy Roman Empire is a supranational union that existed for just under 1,000 years from the 10th to the 19th century. Having arisen in 962, the Holy Roman Empire claimed the continuity of the ancient Roman Empire and the Frankish Empire of Charlemagne, trying to become a universal state entity uniting the entire Western European Christian world. Although Germany has always been the core of the empire, Rome was its sacred center. In the series, the Spanish emperor had this title as a representative of the Habsburg dynasty, who had owned it for several centuries. This is if in 2-3 words
Who's in shock, Ruta Gedmintas (Elizabeth) it's different compared to the TV series "Empty Words", it's not just about hairstyles, vibe is completely different here.
