I like historical novels to be as close to true as possible. NOthing worse than knowing history and reading a fictionalized account and knowing that the fictionalized accounting couldn't have possibly happened. It also shows that the author half heartedly did research and I think if you're going to write a historical novel you should do some research.

Fiction allows the writer to take some liberty with the setting and the facts but something about a complete rewrite of history grates on me.
