Sep 7, 2022 · Starz is no stranger to ornate, well-costumed historical dramas, as “The White Queen,” “The White Princess,” “The Spanish Princess,” and more can attest. But with “The Serpent Queen,” Starz eyes up the modern flair and pitch-black satire of Hulu’s great “The Great” and covets it for itself.

Warwick was indeed a prominent historical figure, commonly regarded at the Kingmaker. He attained this nickname due to his many ploys and plots to put a new monarch on the throne. It is with Warwick's help that Edward IV was made king. Warwick's demise is also accurately depicted in the show.
The Wars of the Roses was a well-documented war that was between the houses of York and Lancaster. The white rose symbolized the York and the red rose symbolized Lancaster. When Elizabeth of York married Edward, they combined their houses, but the familial disputes raged on. Related: All Bow To (Netflix's) The Crown: 5 Best Onscreen Queens (& 5 Wor...
While Anne Neville was indeed a historical figure at play in this time period in history. It can be argued that the show put too much emphasis on her character. There are not many historical documents that portray this woman to be as integral of a character as the show makes her that. That said, she was still the daughter of the Kingmaker and Queen...
Elizabeth Woodville is known for her blonde-haired, blue sees beauty. This is documented as a commonality her family shared.

Surely, there needs to be a level of leniency when watching a show set hundred of years in the past; audiences understand that the settings have changed to some level. That being said, the production staff showed the settings to be much cleaner than they historically would have been. They even omit the waste management system entirely.

This could be in part to the very nature of a modern show retelling historical events; however, there were plentiful costuming errors that ultimately weakened the historical immersion. Zippers are shown, Curderoy is worn, and yet the most egregious errors are in the hairstyling. Women never work their hair completely down, unless they were the Quee...
Elizabeth and Edward IV did indeed marry in secret. They were wed in a private ceremony and kept the union a secret. This came to the surprise of many, because of Edward IV's noncommittal reputation. This union also brought great strife to English Court because it combined the York and Lancaster houses, the two houses that were at the center of the...
While could have been possible rumors that Elizabeth Woodville was a witch, due to the quick-to-accuse midset of the time, there are no documented sources claiming definitively that the woman was indeed a witch; however, the show takes liberties with this and portrays the character actively practicing witchcraft with her mother.
