Any lace, except for the most primitive, is anachronistic for the Henry VIII
period. Reticella was just beginning in Italy, but there is no evidence for it
reaching England this early.
The costumes for The Tudors are pure fantasy - like the series itself.
Historical accuracy just doesn't come into it. Enjoy it for the sexy romp it
is, but please don't confuse it with History!

Spring making lace in a sunny conservatory.
