Added DiffLines:

* HistoricalRelationshipOverhaul:
** Season 2 ends with tensions between Rodrigo and Sancho building until they can barely tolerate each other during the siege of Zamora, culminating with Sancho sending Rodrigo away. In RealLife, sources are unanimous that they got along perfectly and Rodrigo was in Zamora until the siege ended.
** Flaín was the brother of Jimena's father and possibly also a distant relative of Diego Laínez. In the show they are unrelated and he arranges his son's marriage to Jimena

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Many of the kingds and princes in the show are [[FrontlineGeneral Frontline Generals]], and some are particularly dangerous on the battlefield. Sancho is a clear example, and as he [[UpThroughTheRanks rises in station]], Ruy is slowly but surely becoming this.

Added DiffLines:

** Almost nothing is known of the historical Queen Alberta besides the fact that she married Sancho. In the series, she's a statuesque Barbarian warrior queen that wants to join Sancho in battle and eventually fights by his side in the siege of Zamora.

** The historical Sádaba ([[spoiler:who killed King Ramiro of Aragon]]) would have been nothing to sniff at in RealLife, being allegedly able to effectively disguise himself as an Aragonese knight, infiltrate their camp, and carry out a successful assasination. The Sádaba of the series, however, is a ScaryBlackMan who can dismount from a horse at full gallop with [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreed Assassin's Creed]]-levels of agility, throw a javelin with laser-like precision, [[DualWielding skillfully dual-wield both sword and dagger]], and even comes within a hair's-breadth of besting and killing [[spoiler:[[TheAce Ruy]]]] in combat.

* {{Jerkass}}: Orduño, the show's RomanticFalseLead and main [[TheRival Rival]] to Ruy. Consistently an asshole towards Ruy for his lower social station (and, it's implied, because of Jimena's feelings towards him), he constantly works to undermine [[spoiler: and even [[MurderIsTheBestSolution kill]]]] Ruy throughout both seasons. [[spoiler: Even the knowledge that Ruy ''didn't'' kill his father, or that his life was spared by Fernando because of Ruy's intervention, [[UngratefulBastard isn’t enough to make him change his view of Ruy]]]].
