In writing my historical novels, I have to rely upon my imagination to a great extent. I think of it as 'filling in the blanks.'

Whenever I've had to tamper with history for plot purposes, I make sure to mention that in my author's note, and I try to keep such tampering to a bare minimum. I also attempt to keep my characters true to their historical counterparts. This is not always possible, of course.
