S2: Charles Brandon marries a 17 year old and her young age is discussed in detail.
S4: Katherine Howard is 17 and Henry VIII is 49, it is thought she was as young as 14 in real life. Her age is a key element of her character.

One character is shown to die slowly and in pain, and it is said to be from poison in the show.
This person in real life is currently suspected to have died from cancer, however.

Debateable, it closes with Henry's life, touching on the departed queens and describing what happened after. It's not happy, but it's not directly sad
