How much of &#8220;Downton&#8221; is historically accurate, though, and how much of it is exaggerated for dramatic effect? <\/p>\n<p>Throughout its entire run, &#8220;Downton Abbey&#8221; employed historical consultants and drew on the family knowledge of series creator Julian Fellowes. Even so, it&#8217;s a fictional series, with many &#8220;edits&#8221; to make a more dramatically compelling and relatable story. While some of those inaccuracies are minor (think linguistic quirks and slang that wasn&#8217;t popular yet), a few major elements of the show and movies are worth revisiting to see if they pass historical muster. So if you&#8217;ve ever wondered about how realistic &#8220;Downton Abbey&#8221; has been over the years, this is for you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For many of us, &#8220;Downton Abbey&#8221; has taught us a lot about the ins and outs of the fading aristocracy in early-20th-century&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3707,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[23],"tags":[185,187,98,65,199,64],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3705"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3705"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3705\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.buysaves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
