I'm ashamed to confess I did read the book. Perhaps that's because Tudor history nerd might be more properly termed "junkie." And boy-howdy was that book an insult to historical accuracy. But then, this movie corkscrews the facts even more on top of the already laughable inaccuracies of Ms. Gregory's original work.
Jesus Christ, the poor woman was executed. Do we need to do this to her, too?
On the other hand, I will, at some point, watch the damn thing. Yes, that and the HBO series, The Tudors, too. And, just for good measure, I confess I devoured each and every episode of Rome on HBO, even though the century or two around that period of Roman history is another favorite AND the show was only incrementally less fallacious.
I just can't help myself.

Oh, yeah. Wait until you see the rest of The Tudors. You'll wonder in what fictional kingdom it was set. :D
