Yep, most of the characters are historical people, Rollo for example and Charles the Simple, though the existence of Gisela is doubtfull

Yes that's true, Egbert of Wessex right? I think they may have changed Egbert's sons name then,
Egbert's son was called Ethelwulf. Ethelwulf had a son called Aethelstan, Aethelstan was the older
brother of Alfred the Great.

In the TV series Aethelstan became the biological father of Alfred

Aha I see, Aethelstan was Alfred's brother though in actual History, their father was Ethelwulf.
