An event whose date is so well known that at least in the UK history is often referred to a “1066 and all that”
It is a little concerning if you asked me the dates of the first 6 events I would only be certain of the year of 2 of them, might get 3 more but would likely be a year or two out and had no idea of the sixth. Guess my knowledge of history is worse than almost everyone.
