Well, a con of historical fiction is that it may simplify complex historical situations. History is full of nuances, but in historical fiction, for the sake of readability, it might be boiled down to a basic plot. Also, historical fictions can sometimes promote stereotypes. If an author doesn't do proper research, they might reinforce existing, inaccurate stereotypes about a particular group of people in history. Moreover, the commercial aspect of historical fiction means that some works are more focused on sales and might sacrifice historical accuracy for mass appeal.
