I have a little more than a casual knowledge although I will admit it piqued my curiosity and I did quite a bit of reading because of it.
There were obvious liberties taken with events and timelines but none of them undermined the authenticity of the show. It was very well done.
I'm just sad that, because I have more than just a casual interest, that I know how the story really ends. Aethelstan united England, according to the movie, in IIRC 927 AD. It lasted less than 150 years.
