I think that both Elizabeth Howard and Mary Boleyn were far more ambitious than they are saying. That's one of my biggest quibbles, along with the title. I don't think the Boleyns were any more 'scandalous' than any other social-climbing, power-grasping family -of which there were many at the time.

What I liked most was that graphic of the circles of influence at the Court. It was extremely well done.
