6. Tudor Court Tapestries Were Far More Vibrant In Colour
A deliberate inaccuracy, the tapestries which adorned the walls of Tudor courts were in actual fact extremely vibrant in colour and not the dull, faded shades we see today. Time has faded and mellowed the tapestries, but during Henry VIII's duration on the thrown they would have been close to garish in shade. However, director Peter Kosminsky admitted that he did not want to use the original, vibrant tapestries because modern-day television audiences are used to seeing the duller, less harsh colourings.
