Erected from an accurate timeline of historical figures, excluding the existence of the fictional characters (inclusive of Kaeitha and her parents). The information is true & historically accurate; however, the following that has been altered for fictional/creative liberty. - John Hay of Cromlix never married nor produced heirs. - Louise Marie d'Orléans died in infancy. Thus, in the fictional timeline and world of Romancing Jan, John Hay and Louise Marie lived to marry and produced heirs- resulting in the birth of Kaeitha's parents (and subsequently Kaeitha).
