Showtimes "The Tudors" historically inaccurate

Watched two episodes and concluded this was not nearly as good as "Rome,"
even with its lapses into rewriting history.

The average British subject in the street may not know who Maud the Empress and Stephen of Blois were, nor "the She Wolf of France" and her lover Mortimer, nor of Henry VI and his Queen Margaret of Anjou.

I worry about this constantly.

I completely doubt your sincerity. However, i would not be surprised to learn that Mrs. Head of History would view such chavish ignorance with contempt.

(The following portion of the definition of chav from the Urban Dictionary mildly tickled my funny bone:

Chavs are for the most part, extremely stupid. However, some of them render a form of low cunning, which can be misinterpreted as intelligence. However this is false. A Chav has no desire to better themself through honest means nor learn anything outside of car modification.

All chavs think that they are nails [n.b., street slang for someone who is tough]. Again, this is false. Sitting in a beaten up nova smoking lamberts does not precipitate a healthy body. The irony being that a Chav owns mainly sportswear, yet will only break a sweat if running from the police.)

There is a property not to far from here we call Chavsworth Towers.
