Which one will you bend to more? Do you have examples?
For example:
Historicity:
Marie Antoinette said, "Let them eat cake."
History:
Wasn't said by Marie Antoinette, but another princess and the quote was, "Let them eat Brioche." (roughly) which is a type of bread with some sugar. And then misquoted and misattributed on top of it.
I tend to default towards history and then slip in foreshadowing style a nod towards the historicity. A slight nod to the reader... yeah I know, but that fact is wrong.
How about you?
