It’s historical fiction in the same vein as Braveheart, Girl with the Pearl Earring, etc. The characters may be based on real-life people, but the events didn’t happen as portrayed on film.
For example - the Battle of Stirling in Braveheart wasn’t on a field, but at a bridge.
Liberties are taken to portray films based on historical events, but some go to great lengths to get the details right.
