I just started watching The Tudors - Great show!

I’m still bummed that they started right in with Charles V as Holy Roman Emperor and didn’t feature Maximilian I as a character. That guy was a really interesting ruler in his own right, maybe even as much as Henry VIII himself.

Also, I was expecting to see way more tournament combat at the Field of the Cloth of Gold, both on foot and at the tilt - Henry and Francis I were both passionate athletes and while the wrestling match was historically-accurate and a good opportunity to give the female and gay audience something to enjoy, they also had sword matches and I would have liked to see that.

The gay subplot with Thomas Tallis and Sir William Compton is kind of ridiculous since there is NO historical evidence that either of those men were homosexual.
