But anachronisms happen, and it would be hypocritical to actually get "outraged" over that but overlook medieval homes having full sized transparent glass windows. I've never really given much of a shit about that sort of thing. Like it stands out and it's obvious why the filmmakers do it (and sometimes, it's because they gave the best audition - fancy that!) but I'd rather the thing exist than not.

I think the Rings of Power should have been set in Harad (Middle Earth's Africa), and had a majority of the original characters be black.
Tbh the only time an historical themed series has bugged me with it's casting is that one Show that had Anne Boleyn be Mixed Race, because that's an historical figure that really existed, and she weren't a mixed race woman.

Otherwise I am open to a bit of unrealistic casting for that time period, like I am open to Rings Of Power if it's any good.
