Well you could start with 1066 (the year is pronounced “ten sixty sixten sixty six,” by the way) as indicated in a wonderful parody of school-book history first published in the 1930s: 1066 and All That: A Memorable History of EnglandEngland, comprising all the parts you can remember, including 103 Good Things, 5 Bad Kings and 2 Genuine Dates. We don’t have room for all the 103 good things here and will need a few (but only a few) more dates. We could begin history when Britain became an island, around a few thousand years ago although remains of human settlement in the area that was connected to Europe have been dated back several hundred thousand years.
