From a reader's perspective, I think it's essential to be accurate with actual events and historic figures. However, if I'm reading historical fiction, I'm probably not reading it to be inundated with historical fact. That's why I read non-fiction. Instead, I'm looking for a story, but the setting and feel must be accurate. So I want truth, but I want most of my details to be about the story, not the time period, unless essential to the plot.
