[edit] Thomas Boleyn

Changed his bio to list Anne as his youngest daughter, rather than eldest. While the birth order of the real Boleyn siblings is open to speculation, the series clearly establishes in episodes 1.05 and 1.06 that the character of Anne is the youngest sibling. George refers to Anne as his "little sister" in 1.05 and in 1.06, Dr Knight, Anne's former tutor, describes Mary as Anne's "older sister".193.95.162.29 (talk) 12:08, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Knivert info

The material on the official website appears to be related to the historical Knivert; only information related to the fictional representation is appropriate in this list (and none of the events mentioned have been drmatized as yet. As there is currently no Wikipedia article for the historical Knivert, I am preserving the information here pnding the creation of one. TAnthony 18:26, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Historical deviations

The official website of The Tudors states the following of the historical Knivert:

Sir Anthony Knivert was born around the date of the battle of Bosworth Field (1485) the son of Sir Edmund Knivert of Buckenham Castle in Norfolk. He became a gentleman of the Royal Household during the reign of Henry VIII and was disliked by Wolsey who felt that his youthful antics were a bad influence on the young king. He did however manage to survive attempted purges of the kings household and was appointed sheriff of Flint on April 1st, 1528, a position he held until 1532. From 1536 to 1543 he held the position of "Black Rod" in the House of Lords. He was married twice, firstly to Matila, about whom nothing further is known and secondly to Avis (or Avice) Gibson, the widow of Nicholas Gibson a former Sheriff of London. He died in 1549. [1]

None of these events have yet been dramatized in The Tudors beyond Knivert's friendship with Henry and his death.

[edit] Princess Mary Tudor

The paragraph on Mary states that she was relieved when her place in the succession was restored to her but this has not happened yet. While Princess Elizabeth has been removed from the succession, Mary has not been restored. So far, the most promising sign is that Chapuys reported that Jane Seymour is eager for Mary to be restored to the succession, so I think that the paragraph should be amended to avoid giving the wrong impression. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.47.42.32 (talk) 15:34, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
