Well Anne was still alive and since she was considered his "sister", I'm not sure why she didn't come to see him. Katherine, should have haunted him. I think they just did those three because they were the only ones that had children with him.
I too was disappointed with the ending. They just stated things that most Tudor history fans know, that Edward died young, that Jane Grey (didn't list her name though) was queen for 9 days until Mary took over. Mary was known as "Bloody Mary", and Elizabeth is one of the most well recognized monarchs in the country.
I kind of wish it hadn't ended with Henry dying. I kind of wish the show had talked about Edwards time as king (short lived as he died at like 16), Jane Grey's nine days as queen, Mary's marriage (that most of England was opposed too) and her reputation (Bloody Mary) and then stop at Elizabeth's coronation (since so many movies are devoted to Elizabeth as queen).
