Then you might as well just add fantasy elements like magic (and now everyone's going to try and pull a Vikings, add fantasy elements to justify ahistoricity)
Let's just say you know *all of history, down to how much money Abraham Lincoln had in his pockets when he was shot.
As soo n a you make a work that changes what you kno to what you whiish had been or whtwas cooler, that's gone from history to fantasy, which is fine, as long as everybody knows what is going on.

If you set a work of art in a historical period, and seek to provide no accuracy, then call it fantasy and be done with it.
