Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Henry states that Jane is suffering from "childbed fever" (puerperal fever), from which his mother, Elizabeth of York, died. While Henry is correct about Jane, Elizabeth actually died from a post-partum infection.

Quotes:

King Henry VIII: [Crying over Jane's dead body] Just because you have given me everything you promised, please don't leave me! My son needs his mother and I need my queen!
