Even though I'm Dutch by heritage, I didn't know about this part of Dutch/European history. Of course it is one sided, but most historical movies are. That said this flick has a great period look and feel. After watching this I did my own research into the Hundred Years War and the part Holland played. That's what I appreciate about movies like this, they make me aware of parts of history I didn't know about. They give me a motive to educate myself in areas I was previously unaware of.
