Scale of 1-10, how historically accurate was this show. Not necessarily actual events and figures, but general things like culture, technology, dress, and buildings.

The main character of the show is not black, so it's historically inaccurate to begin with.

Leather bondage gear is not historically accurate. Uhtred is dressed like a furry gimp.

I wonder how many people believe everyone just wore black BDMS leather grear from the dark ages to the end of the Renaissance

a lot of things in the books are pretty fascinating, particularly the way politics and tactics work. no fucking clue if they are accurate though.

It's abysmal. The Saxons use square shields with no covers, they wear armour from several centuries later, royal palaces are literal hovels.
Lindybeige, whatever you think of him, does a good job ripping the shit out of it.

he's a wannabe 'eccentric professor' who thinks he knows it all

Viking culture is misrepresented
Technology is all over the place and quite inconsistent
Dress is meh
Buildings are pretty poor mostly.
Still watchable though.
