**In an episode set in Spain in the year 1492, there is a ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}''-esque game show where one of the contestants answers one of the questions with "Protestantism". Not only is this answer stated to be incorrect in-universe, but in real life, Protestantism did not get its start until 1517, [[AnachronismStew twenty-five years after the episode takes place]].

* AppealToWorseProblems: The entire show is guilty of this trope, most notably in the "Neolithic Park" episode, where Rick Green essentially glosses over modern problems such as [[GaiasLament climate change]] in favor of stating that we should be grateful that we still have books, eyeglasses, and modern medicine, compared to the people in the past who endured the likes of hunger and disease.

*KentBrockmanNews: The first two seasons have episodes centered around news broadcasts of various important historical events. Much of it blatantly falls into StrawmanNewsMedia.

*StrawmanNewsMedia: One notable example is the Black Death episode, where one of the anchormen claims that Jewish rabbis are spreading the plague by poisoning the wells. Terrible news reporting! If ''History Bites'' were real, medieval anchormen would never have been allowed to admit that they believe conspiracy theories about the Black Death, even if they did.

**The episode on the French Revolution, set in 1794, has a priest character say that a man can divorce a woman [[ToiletSeatDivorce for any old reason like lack of cleanliness]] while a woman has to prove that her husband was insane or abusive to a priest and several witnesses. This may have been the case during the Ancien Régime, but beginning in 1792, the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loi_autorisant_le_divorce_en_France Loi autorisant le divorce en France]] legalized no-fault divorces, thus acknowledging that a marriage can break down through no fault of either spouse.

**In "Saladin's Last Stand", Frederick Barbarossa, known for being a shrewd political figure, is [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] as a bloodthirsty warrior who killed all the people of Crema after successfully besieging it. Never mind that most of the civilian victims had actually died of hunger and disease, and that some 20,000 survivors were allowed to leave with whatever they could carry ''before'' Crema was burnt to the ground.
