I think the question of her illegitimacy has to do with the fact that he could 
have still been legally married to Katherine of Aragon when he married Anne. 
When the Pope wouldn't declare the marriage void, he took over the English 
church and declared it void himself. Many didn't see that as a valid annulment. 
   
  And, as I recall, she was pregnant with Elizabeth when they married, but that 
doesn't make her a bastard as long as they were married by the time she was 
born.

It was my impression the Ann and Henry were actually married when Liz was 
conceived, and that cutting someone's head off for supposed adultery is 
different 
from an annulment.

Of course in this film anything's possible. I suppose there'll be some 
females in outrageous full armor like that last one....
