* BelligerentSexualTension: ''Very'' much downplayed due to Cleopatra's young age, but her dynamic with Marc Antony in ''Cleoptra VII: Daughter of the Nile'' has hints of this. She initially derides him as a rowdy and unintelligent brute and gets into arguments with him (at one point even stealing his sword in retaliation against his antics), but she also feels intrigued and expresses a desire to see him again (implying she has a crush on him).

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: In ''Elizabeth: Red Rose of the House of Tudor'', Elizabeth repeats as fact the common story that Catherine Howard's last words were "I die a queen, but I would rather have died the wife of Culpeper" before being executed. This has no basis in historical fact; the eyewitness accounts of her execution were all consistent in reporting that her final words were requests for forgiveness of her sins and mercy on her family (as was traditional for most people who were executed during that time, to protect their loved ones after their deaths).
