I like a bit of history but many a time you watch a documentary and the historian tells of a conversation between a King to a nobleman quoting the words.
How does anybody know if it wasn't written down from all those years ago?

If you ever play Chinese whispers you know how it is easy to get the facts wrong.
Do it with six people, one passes on a message to the next person, then that person passes it on to the next and so on, by the time it is told to the sixth person the message is different, so how can we believe stuff told to someone that passes it on from hundreds of years ago.
