The Scots are also described as having longhouses and speaking Scots Gaelic.
Then there are the Scots, who are described as wearing saffron knee length garments - which would be more like those the Picts wore a century before. Second there are a lot of axes used - but the weapons actually used most in this period were piercing swords and daggers - many of which didn't even have any blade, as a blade couldn't cut steel plate, and warhammers with spiked heads to pierce armour. By the time of the Wars of the Roses in the 15th century knights and men at arms wore full plate armour and even some archers would have had a plate cuirass. But that was armour that was current only up until about the 12th century. First almost everyone is described as armoured in chainmail or mail shirts. The main plot details are pretty historically accurate, but there are some strange historical inaccuracies. The plot is interesting and proceeds at a reasonable pace and with a very in-period atmosphere. This is as well written as the first book in the series and the characters, their speech and behaviour, thoughts and interactions are completely believable for people of their social position in a medieval society.
