Of course they're relevant. In any time travel story, there's exactly 3 ages:
- The stone age full of dinosaurs and cave men
- The dark age that's full of anachronisms and, no matter what country the time traveller came from, they always land in Ye Olde England of all the places they could have ended up in that period.
- The future with unfeasible hoverboards, holograms, humanoid robots, and flying cars, but no internet.
Spoilers: Excalibur ticks all three.
