Talk:Robert Pakington

Death portrayed in The Tudors?
I recall in one of the episodes of the late TV miniseries The Tudors a scene in London in which a man who said he was a Member of Parliament was shot dead by a hooded man who got in his way. Was that Pakington and (for those with detailed understanding of actual v the portrayed events) how did it fit in (or otherwise) with the historical events? (The incident was set during a period Henry VIII was in mourning for Queen Jane Seymour.) Until I read this article today I had dismissed a gunshot death in the 1530s as anachronistic.Cloptonson (talk) 12:29, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Interesting. It seems the incident in The Tudors could have been based on the shooting of Robert Pakington. NinaGreen (talk) 19:35, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
