In romantic fiction how important is historical accuracy? I do love historical fiction and enjoy the stories of L.J. Dare, A Bride for a King, Jan Selbourne, Perilous Love and C.L. Koch A Woman’s Secret. I also read more general historical fiction, like the works of Bernard Cornwell and Hilary Mantel, both of which base their work in well researched time periods. I am curious to hear your opinions as to how important it is to get the history right in romance stories? Is it good enough to have it loosely based, because it is the romance that interests you? Or is it annoying when you find that there are howling errors? I realize that some plots play with history, as in Ben Elton’s story, Time and Time Again. How important to you is that history element of the narrative?
