(I know, I know, friars didn't actually exist yet, but come on! They have medieval casinos!)
I don't watch the show but I have seen trailers; one recently featured a suit of armour. Late 15th/early 16th century tilting armour. That's an anachronism roughly equivalent to having an Airbus A310 landing in Cranford, or showing the clients in 'Fanny Hill' paying for the prostitutes' services with a Platinum Visa card.
I think I've just come to think of this show as happening on some other planet. Where historical things (especially clothing-related inventions) happened very, very differently. It helps.
