People are interested in what happened before, but they want to read something that they do not know about too. We get bored with only facts.

I believe that is true. I have read some historical novels that have made me wish I would have been awake in class when we were covering the period of time. Now at 57, when I read a novel about a particular time in history, I will many times end up reading a non-fiction book about that time period because my interest had been aroused.

I think good novels typically have some versimilitude from being inextricable from their (real) setting.
Of course, Biblical logic requires that Dublin prove the existence of Leopold Bloom, London Harry Potter, Sherwood Forest Robin Hood, New York Spiderman, and Georgia Daisy Duke.

my historical romances are all lies. No one falls in love like that and has such great sex.
....lol. Now, settings and facts surrounding them are usually right. You have to do your research to write a good historical novel.

Absolutely...
Dostoevsky, Dickens, Hugo, Lawrence... Kool stuff, and a lot more than a bit of truth in them.
But I like the fantasy stories, too. I can't wait for the next Potter book - anybody else?
