I am not offended. I guess I should have been a bit more clear. No, romances set back in history would not have been as romantic given the lack of bathing and such. And general beliefs, such as you mentioned, are not a problem for me either. It is when a very specific historical event is so distorted that it takes me out of the story. This has only happened to me once. I didn't throw the book either. I just closed it and never finished it because I could not get back into the story.
