The company's sole purpose was to make the maximum profit for England, and historians say this led it to exploit millions of people who lived in the territories it controlled.
In addition we have the prince regent, who in the series is played by Marc Gatis, that he was really known for his extravagant parties, his excesses and his "lack of morals".
The prince became acting head of state in 1811 after his father, King George III, was declared unfit to rule (due to his madness). Screenwriter Steven Knight says, “The Prince Regent was real and he was even crazier than Taboo's character. People wouldn't believe how crazy he was. »

The prince is said to have spent an estimated £20 million (in today's money) on his coronation in 1821, wearing a suit with expensive and extravagant pieces, and forbidding his wife from attending the event at the Westminster Abbey.
Knight said the real details also include drug use, promiscuity (although the incestuous relationship of Delaney and Zilpha (Oona Chaplin) would not have been accepted), alcohol and prostitution. It is believed that in Regency times there were around 62 brothels.
As for James and Nootka, there's a certain reality to that as well. Knight was inspired by the British explorer John Mearswho even dared to challenge the East India Company by claiming the outpost of nootka at the end of the 18th century. This led to the famous Nootka Crisis, it was when Britain, Russia and Spain were on the brink of war.
According to some historians, piss he behaved outrageously, he was also a mysterious character and, like Delany, there were many rumors about him. He died in Bath in 1809 and places like Cape Meares in Oregon and Meares Island in British Columbia are named after him.
Other theories suggest that Delany was also inspired by James Hannaan Irish explorer who was among the first European men to enter the fur trade.
