Artistic License – History: There was no "battle of Dreimahl" during the Seven Years War. There's no location with that name, for that matter. The shipment of women to North America in order to improve the demography of French colonies wasn't made of enslaved women, and took place under King Louis XIV, not Louis XV. | |

Chimney Entry: Rather "chimney exit". La Tour escapes custody in Paris by climbing up a chimney, in which sweeps were conveniently working with a rope (they took some bricks off the roof end to get inside). | |
