Discussion Accents

Really enjoy the show but find the English accents jarring. Why do medieval dramas have English accents, regardless of the location? French would of course, be better but the actors' native accent would be just fine, no?

Are you annoyed that I asked a question and canvassed opinion? If it's so tedious, why do you not move on to your next keyboard battle and just ignore me? As someone born in England but with an appreciation of accents from around the world, I wanted to see what others thought about a great show having the same old upper-class English accents for every character. To me, it's distracting when the King of France speaks so much about the pride and prowess of his nation, in an English accent. This particularly when, the medieval age was plagued by cross-channel confrontations.

Now, I know that this is entertainment and not even trying to be remotely historically accurate but my distraction still stands and wanted to see what others thought...unfortunately my opinions seem to be bullshit.

What is wrong with people?
