The historical romance novels are mainly based on the romances of the past and are based on the lives of the historical characters. Mostly they are either true or are myths or they are have been modified from their original versions. For example the love story of Helen of Troy and Paris has many versions differing from each other. Some versions show Paris as the villain who kidnapped Helen forcefully and some show Helen as the opportunist woman who left her husband and their daughter for Paris.
Similarly few stories like Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Antoine and Cleopatra mostly
tend to remain the same through out the world and down the ages they have remained the same with no alterations. Another historical romance novel like Camille is a depiction of the romance between Margherita and Armando with some modifications although the ending remains the same.
