But that is not (IMHO) a 'glaring' historical error; that's a minor mistake like describing stovies as dumplings. A glaring error to me would be a documented historical event being changed to a different time and place to suit a plot point. |

Ok, here's one for you then: the story is set in 1743, but involves the protagonist being tried for witchcraft. The Witchcraft Act of 1735 made it illegal to accuse anyone of witchcraft, so a witchcraft trial in 1743 is just plain wrong. That is a documented historical event (the Witchcraft Act) being changed to suit a plot point.
