Well, the accuracy of historical fiction can vary a lot. Some authors do extensive research to make it as close to the truth as possible, while others focus more on entertainment and might not be as strict with the facts. It really depends on the author's goals and the audience's expectations.

It depends. Some historical fiction aims for a high level of accuracy, while others take more liberties for the sake of the story.

The level of accuracy in historical fiction can be quite subjective. It could range from being very precise with details and events to having only a loose connection to actual history. It often depends on how the author wants to balance creativity and historical authenticity.

For instance, the personal relationships of the royal family are often portrayed with a bit of speculation to fill in the gaps where historical accounts are unclear.
