Difference between Tower Green vs. Tower Hill
To my knowledge (feel free correct me if I'm mistaken) there were only 10 known people to have been executed on Tower Hill (their names are on the Execution Memorial in the Tower of London). During the Tudor period, 6 of these were executed and they were: Anne Boleyn, Margaret Pole, Catherine Howard, Jane Rochford / Boleyn, Lady Jane Grey, and Robert Devereux.

Those were the only people during the Tudor Era that were killed inside the grounds of the Tower. The rest were either executed at Tower Hill (so crowds could watch) or Tyburn.

Lady Jane Rochford
In many novels Jane Rochford is very close with Anne Boleyn infact she was one of her ladies in waiting , and spent most of her time in the Queens private chambers. Why do you think the Tudors chose not show that relationship between the two of them ?

What scene of dramatic license on the series bothered you the most?
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.
