Wonder if the Scots demanded they did that before Braveheart.

I saw a disclaimer before the first big Diana-centric episode (I’ve been sick, so I’ve been going through the seasons really quickly, since the week before Thanksgiving) but it was about depictions of eating disorders.
That’s the only disclaimer I’ve seen.
But I’m curious ... Are we talking dramatic creative license for effect or historical inaccuracy? Are there disclaimers before every episode saying, “Trigger warning: Some of this dialogue might have been written by writers!” or some such thing?
I guess my answer depends on the extent to which the show deviates from the actual events.
But, like, we here in the US could easily get our balls in a twist if someone incorrectly depicted JFK or Roosevelt or … uh… Kurt Cobain, I guess. So it’s not really that surprising, to be honest, but I’m curious now.
