Trivia
When Anne Boleyn says to one of Catherine of Aragon's ladies in waiting that she'd rather see Catherine hanged than acknowledge her as her mistress, this is an actual quotation attributed to Anne.

Goofs
Cardinal Wolsey was not imprisoned and did not commit suicide. After being accused of treason, he set out for London to answer the charges and died en route in Leicester. Wolsey's death came in 1530, three years before the death of Henry's sister Mary; in the series, the two events are juxtaposed.

Quotes
Queen Katherine: [to Henry, about scholars opinion on their divorce] For every scholar that would vote for you, I could find a thousand that would vote for me.
