Henry Fitzroy's true age at death.
11 July 2007
Warning: Spoilers
It is an historical fact that Lord Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Richmond and Sumerset, son of Lady Blount, was born on June 15, 1519 and died June 18, 1536. He was 15 years old and was married to Lady Mary Howard and had no children at the time of his death. He was definitely NOT only 3 or 4 years old as the movie would have us believe. Although I understand this i not an historical documentary, like what you would see on the history channel, I think they should at least try to stay within historical parameters. There is a big difference between old enough to marry and barely weaned. This aside, I thoroughly enjoy the show and count it as one of my favorites.
