The top mistakes in To Kill A King http://www.moviemistakes.com/film3305 en Sat, 22 Nov 2008 06:55:17 +0000 33798 Fairfax was not present at the trial of Charles I, although his wife Anne was, (and was forcibly removed after telling the court what she thought of them). 34420 Fairfax didn't become a member of Parliament until 1654, long after he is shown sitting and voting in the film (in 1647). 34432 Denzil Holles was never Speaker of the House of Commons. 34093 Although he did support the execution of the King, Henry Ireton was no sanctimonious Puritan bigot, but a moderate and a talented general. He was also Cromwell's brother-in-law, not his cousin. 34343 Thomas Fairfax did not succeed his father as 3rd Baron Fairfax until 1648, yet Charles I talks about the day long ago when he became a lord. He also refers to him as Lord Thomas. This would make him the younger son of a duke or marquess, not a baron in his own right. He is Lord Fairfax and only Lord Fairfax. A king would most definitely know this.
