At the beginning of episode 4, a man smashes a priest in the face with a cross, then his eye is shown mutilated. The camera doesn't linger and he is shown partly in shadow but it's still gross. Later he is shown with his eye missing and the skin healed over but bruised.

A stag is shot with an arrow in episode 2 around 35:00. It doesn't die immediately and bellows in pain until Elizabeth stabs it in the throat with a knife. It's clearly CGI but the sounds are pretty upsetting if you're sensitive to animal cries. The scene is over around 37:20. In episode 4 a rooster dies in a cockfight, the scene lasting from around 24:20 to 26:30. In episode 4 a falcon has its feathers plucked out alive from 4:10 to 4:25. You don't see it die but that is Edward's purpose, and you hear it screeching in pain.

In the first few minutes of S1 Ep 6 Edward demands a falcon killed by having its feather plucked while still alive and it starts onscreen. It's very disgusting and distressing.

Yes. As Thomas Seymour is fleeing from the king's chambers, in episode 5, Robert Dudley tries to stop him and is thrown down the stairs. Seymour then attacks Robert where he lies at the bottom of the stairs.

Also, in episode 7, Mary's Bishop Gardner is thrown down some outdoor steps
