  2. The Tudors is good if you're looking for dramatic TV. Historical accuracy is rather hit and miss. Do remember though about the casting of Henry that he's in his 20s when the series starts, and was an extremely athletic man until later in his life.

Charles Brandon, Henry's confidant, clandestinely wed Mary Tudor, Henry's sister, following her widowhood—not Margaret as depicted, ...

    Amidst King Henry VIII's infamous quest for a male heir—a quest that reshaped history—he did, in fact, father a son. Henry Fitzroy, born to Henry and his mistress, Elizabeth Blount, was a tangible yet overlooked piece of the monarch's complex legacy. Although Fitzroy's birth did not fulfill the king's desire for a legitimate heir, he was far from d...
