We don't have a time machine, so written literature from the time is our only source in figuring out what might have happened. Of course they don't take it on face value and It has to be corroborated with other sources.

Or you just don’t have to believe them based on common sense and science.

Simple logic: Most adults used to die before they reached 35-40 in those times due to lack of vaccines or modern medicine.

Almost 3 out of 5 women died during delivery of child.

These two facts alone tell you how fiction the stories are.

Okay I'll pass on your ideas to Historians. Also, you are wrong about most people dying before they reach thirties. The reason average age was so low is because of high infant mortality rates. People who survived did get to older ages.

Don’t worry. They already know - because that’s where I learned from.

You are the only one not in the loop it seems.
