I remember *some* history, but sometimes I have to use google to see what was happening at the time. The TV show is pretty darned close to reality!

The show has delt with Henry's leg wound/ulcers, but didn't say why or at least if it did, I missed it. So, I looked it up last night to see if that was true to reality and to see if there was a "cause" for the wound. And it was - true to reality! Also, in real life there was no "cause" for the ulcers - just speculation. But he did have then on both legs, not just one. So again, the TV show was spot on, even not giving a reason for the leg ulcer.

I also wanted to see if the TV show delt accurately with the beheading of Cromwell and again, it did.
