Why was Mary depicted as the younger sister of Anne?

In reality Anne was the younger sister?

And why is Henry shown as being quite benign, when he was really a selfish, bloodthirsty b*stard who betrayed promises, killed friends, nobles and wives galore (later than this film is set) and left England bankrupt?

Because this is utter fiction.

Because Philippa Gregory is a horrible researcher and forgot that Henry VIII also had a sister named Mary.

Because the screenwriters never read a history book.
