Well obviously loads of things could have been different. Like the Henry having two sisters thing or about Mary Boleyns children by Henry but I presume that it would have taken way too much time.

With relation to George Boleyn and the rape scene, yes it was kind of unnecessary but they needed a plausible reason for Jane Parker hating him so much. The fact that he was gay (in the show) would not have been enough. That would only embarass her. Whereas the rape would justify her actions completely. Besides, although it is highly unlikely, we never know what goes on behind closed doors. If Jane P had been raped she would never have told anyone. Rape of a wife back then wasnt considered rape. Also, she would be endangering herself by attacking the Queens brothers. And in fairness, Cromwells face when Jane Parker admits gladly that her husband slept with his sister is absolutely priceless.
