Hey, I got 100% in my History A level. And if there was an exam for historical trolling, I'd ace that too.

Seriously though, Cromwell is the least-famous-most-important figure in British history. It's amazing how little people know about him

I wonder how much is down to potted school history focusing on roundheads v cavaliers, not on rule/his record in Ireland etc

Sure, but it's barely even covered at school - amazing how a pan-British series of civil wars & constitutional crises is so poorly known

We honestly spent more time on Henry VIII's wives in secondary school. I only knew about his Irish history cos I went to a Catholic primary.

This is why I take my job on Horrible Histories really seriously. We are a comedy show, but we may be the only exposure kids get to history

I read absolutely every Horrible Histories books to my siblings, and it really got me onto wider reading, they were invaluable.

They're great books, the facts in them are a bit outdated now but still hold up well
