I blame Philippa Gregory (the author of the books that series was based on), she's got some huge hang-ups about evil scheming women and likes interpreting many female historical figures that way. Anne Boleyn is the most obvious one. Gregory thinks she's a historian or something, and doesn't seem to understand she's writing War of the Roses/Tudor fanfiction.

Historical fiction is fine but the belief that you're telling some unspoken truth while writing it is just URGH. Also her idea that strong female = scheming (and that's their defining characteristic) just really doesn't speak to me. At all. It's just...that's not really an improvement on female characters or historical women in general being an ornament?
