Sadly, there are very few historical dramas made today with any shred of credibility or attempt towards reality. This is sad, given the ease at which anyone can create a historical drama and get it made, so they are more pervasive now than ever before. This is simply a leftist's dime-store vaudevillian pile of garbage. It literally could have taken place in almost any era, but the 14th century was chosen. The entire premise begins with a rape, committed by some powerful aristocrat which happens in front of an entire wedding entourage...which could have very easily overpowered everyone who showed up (remember; no guns...just swords). And we are to believe that in this era the elite could simply do whatever they wanted to the peasants with impunity. By all historical accounts (and there are MANY) that's just not the way life was back then. But of course historical revisionism sells, especially when it comes down to stories about bringing down 'the man'/patriarchy.
