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.

For me it was the rape scene with George Boleyn & Jane Parker. What bugged me the most is that it is a horrendous act which has no basis in history and it blackens George's name. According to most historians there is not one "scintilla" of evidence to support his homosexuality plus now they make him a rapist. From what I have read, he was a very well liked member of court & not mean spirited. He admits to his own "sins" of vanity & pride but not a violent man.

At all that the actors don't look like their characters?
