This may apply to a few writers or maybe not. If you are using any historic background or event in your stories how much time and effort do you put in to do any historic research that you might refer to. It may either be historic research or maybe you set your fictional character into historic events, the best example I can think of in that vein is Bernard Cornwell with Sharpe and other series.
There are of course numerous authors that do likewise.
In my own story arc I make use of references to Ancient Egypt as part of the origin. Although of course what I come up with plot wise is fantasy I do make a lot of historical references which if anyone checked are valid.
It may ‘appear’ bizarre but it lends the ability to refer to or reference certain events or practices that are valid.
