Mistake Revealing: At the beginning of the movie Geoffrey organises an ambush on a group of infantrymen marching on a pristine beach. When the second group of horsemen attacks there are already tracks in the sand, obviously from previous takes.

Mistake Continuity: When Eleanor comes to free Henry's sons from the dungeon, the officer who is accompanying her stabs the guard in the throat. When he pulls the dagger out there's blood only on one side and nothing on the straw when the guard is kicked across the floor.

Mistake Continuity: When Eleanor talks to herself in the mirror before Geoffrey enters, the Katherine-Hepburn wave in her hair is different when her reflection is shown.

Mistake Continuity: When the royal family plus entourage comes through the town to meet the French king, in bird's-eye views Henry is marching alone in front, but in close-ups Eleanor is at his side.

Mistake Revealing: The air in Henry's bedroom is so cold that there is a layer of ice on the washing bowl, but his breath makes no clouds.

Mistake Continuity: In the last scene of the movie Eleanor leaves by boat to go back to her castle prison. When we see Henry waving good-bye he is standing right next to a post when we see him from the back, but this post is nowhere when he is shown from the water.

Mistake Factual error: Eleanor uses a paisley-shaped mirror. The paisley pattern comes from India and is designed after the mango, therefore unknown in the England of 1138, centuries before the British set foot on the subcontinent.

Mistake Revealing: When Eleanor comes across the Thames there is no other boat around, however, in a shot from the side you see the bow wave of the boat with the camera crew.

Mistake Other: The German subtitles translate Brittany as Britannien (Britain), not as Bretagne.
