The Most Historically Accurate Hollywood Films

The Lion in Winter

Medieval films can be difficult to portray accurately because nobody truly knows what everyday life was like nearly 500 years ago. Most directors miss the mark and go overboard on the glamor aspect in order to make the film palatable to a modern audience. However, The Lion in Winter looks glamorous only because it focuses on royalty. It follows the manipulation of King Henry II by his wife and children and won three Oscars for its efforts.
