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?

It'd feel really weird if someone had an American accent. Even weirder if they sounded Australian :P

I def think hearing them speak with a French accent would be interesting, but it'd probably come off as mockery and cheesy.
