I've come to expect historical inaccuracies in movies and TV programs, but 1) to 4) listed above add nothing positive to the drama and in fact make it less realistic and less interesting.
8) Elizabeth of York was not much involved in politics, and was very likely much a less assertive person. 7) Warbeck and Edward were not executed on the same day. 6) The Duchess of Burgundy was not arrested in London, it is very unlikely she was there at all when Warbeck was imprisoned and even more unlikely that Margaret Pole was delivering letters to her to aid in a revolt. Henry was just one year old when she died.
5) The boy Henry VIII has a ceremony interrupted by Elizabeth Woodville as he is named Duke of York, but this ceremony took place years after Elizabeth died in 1492. 4) Margaret Beaufort, a very pious woman, never murdered Jasper Tudor by suffocating him with a pillow. It is extremely unlikely that Elizabeth of York was in love with her uncle. 3) The incest between Richard III and Lizzie which is frequently mentioned (especially in the first episode) very likely never happened. 2) Perkin Warbeck and Margaret Gordon's baby is murdered on the order of Margaret Beaufort, but there is no historical record of the couple having had a baby. 1) Henry VII is seen choking and striking his mother, but in reality he was very devoted to her and would never harm her. But there are many historical inaccuracies, including some that are very degrading to the memory of real historical people.
Jasper tudor white princess series#
Every single major character in this series really existed. This series strays farther from real history than it's predecessor The White Queen, and is generally not as well-written. This is a terrific character study above all. This is fictional historical drama and quite frankly, the show posts the warning after every episode. The issue of historical accuracy is fair but ultimately besides the point. It's the slow descend of Lizzie into hell.

This is a movie of evil triumph over good. Prince Richard comes back from the grave to lay claim to the throne. Lizzie's cousin Maggie is desperate to free her mentally-handicapped brother Teddy who has a righteous claim to the throne.

He is forced to marry York princess Lizzie to combine the two houses. Henry and his mother Margaret Beaufort are constantly fighting off nascent rebellion from the remaining House of York. It's the last battle in the War of the Roses. Henry VII returns home after defeating Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth.
