* InformedWrongness: Everywhere Phillipa goes she is faced with scholars and historians who tell her that her methods in trying to prove King Richard's innocence are unprofessional and won't do her any favours if she ''does'' end up uncovering evidence that supports what she dismisses as Tudor propaganda. Invariably, they are portrayed as hoity-toity snobs who sneer at her feminine intuition and emotional investment, even though they're absolutely right about the need for dispassionate scrutiny when it comes to historical research. Sure enough, when Richard's body is eventually discovered, it turns out that he had a spinal deformity. Though this fictional portrayal of Phillipa handles the discovery with composure, the real one was reduced to tears when faced with irreputable evidence that the Tudor depiction of Richard as a hunchback had some basis in reality -- vindicating all those historians who warned her about not letting her personal feelings interfere with the search for the actual ''truth''.
