MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: In 1525 (the year that Charles V armies capture Francis in Pavia, which occurs at the same time in the episode) Portugal didn't have a sick old king. John III was only 23 years old and he married Catherine, Charles V sister, precisely in 1525.
FAKE: When Brandon is talking to Margaret in her room on the ship to Portugal we can see the hanging lamps swinging, and the camera swings too, but the wine in the one glass on the table does not move and the glasses themselves stand still.
GEOG: The landscape of Lisbon on this episode features the University of Coimbra (some 150km north of Lisbon) clearly on the top left of the screen.
FAKE: When Princess Margaret sails to Portugal they get into stormy weather. During that scene the actors and the lamps sway heavily but the wine in the glasses on the table stays completely level.
CHAR: Even though you hear clear Portuguese by the steward, King Manuel's speech is actually mangled Spanish. Also in the scene, some of the background speech is gibberish.
