There have been many minor anachronisms and factual errors in this show, but this episode takes it a bit too far. General Baltasar, supposedly a Moor in the service of the Spanish Crown, speaks of a peaceful Moorish village in Spain being destroyed and all of the inhabitants murdered, but Ferdinand and Isabella, the most intolerant and rigid Catholic rulers that Europe has ever seen, had long since driven the Moors out of Spain - there were no "peaceful Moorish villages", and certainly no Moorish generals in the Spanish army.
