This is not history
You want history pop open multiple texts and compare and intuit. This is entertainment, (hand puppet) en-ter-tain-ment. This is not religion. The script was written. It's a story with historical names as much as Vlad the Vampire doesn't resemble the countless bloodsucker movies and TV. This is more faith than reason so if you hit it in the ballpark your playing in all's OK. It's a entertaining show all that's all I care about.
