Audio problem: When Lady Elizabeth complains about the king coming to visit, Sir Thomas says, "That's easy for you to say you've had position and wealth all your life," and she replies, "Until I married you Thomas." When the camera faces Sir Thomas we hear Lady Elizabeth say, "And I was happy to give it up for love," but her lips do not move while saying this.

Trivia: In real life, Mary secretly married her second husband, William Stafford, while Anne was still Queen. Henry and Anne did not approve because Stafford had a low social rank and little money. Mary was banished from court, and her parents and uncle disowned her. Her final interaction with Anne was probably when Anne sent her a golden cup and some money, but still would not allow her at court. She was probably not present at the execution of Anne, like in this movie.

Question: At the end of the movie, it states that Mary married William Stafford, but wasn't she still married to William Carey (even though the king sent him away)?

Answer: Mary was married twice. Her first husband, William Carey, died in 1528. She secretly married William Stafford, a commoner, in 1534. Her family disapproved of the match, and the couple lived out their lives in the country, away from the royal court.
