The Importance of History

Without a knowledge of history, we would not be aware of these gems:

Victims of the Black Death grew boobs on their necks.

The Reformnation happened when German nobles resented the idea that tithes were going to Papal France or the Pope thus enriching Catholic coiffures.

The German Emperor’s lower passage was blocked by the French for years and years.

Taxation was a great drain on the state budget.
