* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Cardinal Wolsey is much more sympathetic here than pretty much any other depiction. Though devious and power-hungry, he's ultimately a tragic character who's outfoxed by Anne and destroyed by Henry when no longer useful.

* AffectionateNickname: Henry calls Anne "Nan" (a contraction of "Mine Anne") to show affection; he does this even when she clearly despises him. (Her uncle also calls her Nan.) Henry also calls his first wife, Katherine, "Kate," when they're alone, possibly hinting to their shared past when they were quite close.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Jane Seymour catches Henry VIII's eye at a ball; Anne has Jane Seymour forced out of the ball under armed guard and sent to the country.
** But this pales in comparison to Henry. Anne Boleyn fails to produce a living male heir for Henry; he has her arrested for treason, adultery, and incest, with death the punishment.
