Fictional works about real people are a tricky case. The movie The Brothers Grimm strays so far from truth that no one could ever confuse them. But what about one like Amadeus, where it's close enough to the truth that some people mistake it for history? Or Richard III? Is the author misleading the audience? I don't think so, but it's a tough call.
