Public media are entertainment made by artists. They did not study history nor are attempting to paint it accurately. They are trying to create something for for their contemporaries, sorta kinda inspired by history.
Their blacksmiths are as accurate as their vampires as sibling puts it. Which is ok, the rest of us are supposed to realise the difference between a fiction , random tech guy or economist blog and actual history.
In a book having a story and then some pages about the historic context, I would expect the context to be somewhat accurate? I also mean stuff like that researchers are sometimes (I think often) unable to determine whether a picture, a music piece was created by the master or by the prentices. I don't expect public media to lie about that.
It's also about common sense economy and human behaviour. I don't think humans change all that much.
Wars and rivalities between cities and between the nobility-dominated land are part of history classes in school. Can you bring actual arguments why my reasoning is wrong, instead of simply claiming it just didn't happened this way?

Why would you expect that if written by random writer?

Your common sense is massively dependent on your values, your religion (or lack of it) and our technology. Humans with different values, different religion and massively different technology function differently.

What you did NOT learned in high school history is how cities, towns and peasants operated in their day to day life. What you did NOT learned was anything about periods in between wars - and most cities were not in constant war with each other.

Just about any actual specialized historical book about medieval time, frankly. And frankly, you are the one who made confident claims, you should be able to support them with evidence first.
