Historically accurate
The show, which Cordner estimated cost $1 million to put together, has been generally, but not universally, well received.
After hearing about the queen-centric story on Facebook, Autumn Garza, 42, of Lake Forest, said she appreciates the show’s inclusion of different perspectives. She plans to take her family.
“I think it’s fantastic,” she said. “This’ll make me want to support their business more.”
On the flip side, Facebook critics said elevating the queen was just an effort to be politically correct – comments Cordner said he’s also heard.
“I think there’s some guys who haven’t caught on to the new reality – kind of, ‘Oh, here too?,’ rolling their eyes,” he said.
Another online comment suggested a queen as medieval ruler isn’t realistic, but Marie Kelleher, who teaches medieval history at Cal State Long Beach, said plenty of women held powerful positions in the Middle Ages, which lasted from the late 400s to about 1500.<<
