“1066 Battle of Hastings
1096 First Crusade
1120 Sinking of the White Ship
1153 Treaty of Westminster
1189 Third Crusade
1215 Magna Carta
1265 First parliament
1314 Battle of Bannockburn
1348 Black Death
1381 Peasant’s Revolt
1415 Battle of Agincourt
1485 Battle of Bosworth…”

I think geography teachers made them up and hoped nobody would ever check.

I have always simply refused to memorize anything.
