I'd like to thank Mr. Parsons for so ably discussing this. I have
noticed many parallels once an historical figure is "popularized".
Antonia Fraser, Philippa Gregory, et al, may be entertaining writers for
many, but there is a dangerous tendency over time for these
non-historians' widely-disseminated portrayals to assume "fact-like"
status; myths so often- and so long-repeated that they come to be
accepted unquestioningly as fact.
