Historical Fantasy

The historical fantasy is a rewriting of the history by including there elements of Fantasy. The dates, characters and places agree except that elements of fantasy are present (magic, supernatural creatures). The historical characters are used under the angle of the fantasy.

The historical fantasy belongs to the Uchronie of fantasy but any work of uchronie of fantasy does not belong to the historical fantasy since they do not occur all in the past and real bonds with the characters and the dates of our history do not have very.
