Early in the movie, Prince Hal (Dan O'Herlihy) searches a book of heraldry, looking for the achievement on a ring owned by Myles (Tony Curtis). On the page prior to Myles' achievement is a white shield bearing 3 red stars over 2 red bars - the arms granted to George Washington's 3rd great-grandfather, Lawrence Washington of Sulgrave Manor, Northamptonshire, England, now known to Americans as Washington DC's flag. This is also an historical error - the arms were not granted until 1592, almost 200 years after Henry IV's death.
