Rider doesn't care about his historical records at all.
Rider doesn't but, Iksander, King of Conquerors sure did.

Rider has history like every other character, and it's an important part of understanding who it is. You seem to be viewing the jolly big guy through a rose-tinted lens. But alas, he was not always a carefree goof...

To quote episode 11: "The king does not make sacrifices. We are heroes because we are tyrants." Part of his self-centered ideology still exists today. Unlike Saber, he believes in tyrannical rule and rejects the concept of altruism.

All for the sake of her goal, including killing her son, Mordred, when he rose against her.
Killing Mordred did not have anything to do with her goal. If you wanted to go that far, Mordred technically wasn't even her son; he was a homunculus born within the womb of her sister, using her DNA. If anything, he's more of a clone. So essentially, Saber killed a clone of herself, but only because he proactively attacked and ultimately killed her. Even in her final breaths, she thought only about her country. No wrongful blood on her hands there.
