Yes, obvious historical gaffes can bother me quite a bit, though I'll admit that I'm a lot more forgiving of movies in that regard than books. The mention of Stirrups from a time period before stirrups were in common use is a pet peeve. Stirrups were not common in the West until much later than a lot of people think.
