I think Wolf Hall is rather over rated. It sort of projects quite a bit of modern sensibilities into people living in those times. It is also very sparse, in the sense it doesn't catch very much of the mannerisms of speech etc or even the physical details, flavour of of the times of things.

I mean, we can't know what people thought, or how. But, I don't recall any red flags offhand.
