** Edmund is bestowed with the title "Duke of Edinburgh", something that would not be possessed by any English prince until about three hundred years after the time of the series. "Born to Be King" in general seems to adopt a modern perspective assuming that English royalty holds dominion over Scotland, which at this time would have still be quite independent.

*** Before Henry VIII's time, English kings' regnal numbers didn't appear on coins. Richard IV's coins would have said RICARDVS REX and could be passed off as Richard III's. And Henry did have Richard III's Titulus Regius Act torn out of the Parliament Rolls and order the destruction of all copies - he might have tried the same with all Richard IV documents.

One of the most impressive aspects of the show was the subtle differences between the various incarnations of Blackadder: The ambitious but spineless Black Adder, the dashing but impulsive Lord Blackadder, the cool and ruthless E. Blackadder Esq. and the weary, rather less evil, but more witty and intelligent Captain Blackadder all had much in common character-wise, but were recognisably different people. A similar variation can be seen in the Baldricks ([[RuleOfFunny for some reason]], each incarnation was lower in social order than the previous).

* WringEveryLastDropOutOfHim: The first season has a ShoutOut to ''Theatre/TheImportanceOfBeingEarnest'' when it mentions a character who has been on his deathbed for so long that everyone is thoroughly sick of it and wants him to either recover or die, but "it's this shilly-shallying that's so undignified". That said, given that the man in question is an extremely wealthy noble, both potential claimants to his property would much rather he died as soon as possible... provided his will says the right thing, of course.
