* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The Duke Dumaine, brother to Guise and the Cardinal Lorraine, reappears in one scene after their murders. He and the Friar plot Henry III's assassination, but there's no mention of his fate after the Friar succeeds and kills the king. His RealLife equivalent Charles de Guise, Duke of Mayenne, eventually negotiated peace with King Henry IV (the former King of Navarre), and was still alive two decades after the play's debut, so contemporary audiences may not have needed the play to explain his fate.

* DeadGuyOnDisplay: Gonzago throws the Admiral's body down from his bedroom window into the street below, partly so that Guise can be confident they murdered the right man. Once Guise has checked it the Duke of Anjou decides to [[DishonoredDead cut the head and hands from the corpse]] and [[DecapitationPresentation send them to the pope]]. His body then ends up hung from a tree - until Guise is offended by the smell and has it thrown into a ditch.
