Deliberate mistake: Edmund's "recollection" of seeing Henry Tudor includes the footage that the audience saw at the beginning; however, Edmund wasn't present when this happened, and thus should not be able to recollect it. Moreover, this scene occurred after Henry had escaped and was in safety, altering the details of the Battle of Bosworth Field. Clearly, the footage was added for the audience's benefit, to be able to link the injured Henry to the introductory scene at the start of the episode.
