Corrected entry: The movie implies that Mary of Guise was murdered by Walsingham in bed. In reality, she died of dropsy (the collection of fluid in the body cavities and/or tissues).

Corrected entry: There is no solid evidence that Elizabeth had sexual relationships with Dudley, or any other man. She was very politically astute, and knew the dangers of damaging her Virgin Queen reputation, upon which much of her strength was based.
Correction: On the DVD commentary, the director happily admits that there is no evidence of a sexual relationship, but that he was exploring the possibility.
Correction: The movie implies it was murder, as Mary of Guise died suddenly and nobody really knows of what cause. It was Mary (so as not to confuse which one, daughter of Henry VIII by Catherine of Aragon) who had dropsy. This caused her to become bloated and led her to believe continually that she was pregnant.
