Line 56:
* [[Foregone Conclusion]]: Just read your history books. Also discussed [[In-Universe]] pretty early in the story, when the Third Doctor tells Beverly that there's nothing he can do for Lady Robsart's cancer. {{spoiler|By the end, she does die, but it's [[Subverted Trope|because of something else]].}}
* [[Have We Met?]]: Lord Robert Dudley asks this of the Doctor. They actually ''had'' met before (when the Doctor was in his first incarnation and visiting [[The Virgin Queen|Elizabeth]]'s coronation), but Dudley shrugs this feeling off.
* [[Historical Domain Character]]: Lord Robert Dudley, Lady Amye Robsart, and many other people involved in the events leading up to Lady Robsart's mysterious death. All explained in [https://web.archive.org/web/20130710004132/http://comics.shipsinker.com/norfolkcast.php this cheat sheet.]
* [[Popcultural Osmosis]]: Rich had to explain in the story's cheat sheet that he did '''not''' do a crossover featuring the cast of ''[[Blackadder]] II'' (Edmund Blackadder II's unnamed [[Cameo]] on page 18 notwithstanding). The other characters are actual people from the Elizabethan era, [[Older Than They Think|believe it or not]].
* [[Sweet Polly Oliver]]: Beverly's 16th-Century disguise is a male's doublet and tights, as she didn't want to wear a corset and dress. The whole time she's there, people refer to her as a male...but she still goes by "Beverly".
