Episode #1.8 - S1-E8

Factual error: Sir Stuart Strange, on learning that Wilton and Pettifer have not been contacted conjectures, "they must have left early for the weekend" This was 1814 and the earliest recorded use of the word, and concept of weekend was in 1879.

Factual error: Several of the soldiers at the Tower wear their hair tied back in queues. These were abolished in 1808 and the series is set in 1814. Since they were loathed as well as against regulations, it's highly unlikely that any soldier would have worn them after they were abolished.
