@holland_tom @dcsandbrook Volunteering Boudicca and King John for next year. She wouldn’t have let him sign the Magna Carta. Would eventually overthrow him but they’d have a few good years.

Always equally impressed and terrified by Hitler’s rise and change of roles. Enjoyed the podcast @dcsandbrook @TheRestHistory!

One final tweet on this thread - here's an interesting interactive history timeline of human civilisation from Oliver Rendchen https://t.co/4kiBT2yTWH

Our first thread begins with the topic and origin of "History" itself. The concept of history as a study of the past can be traced back to ancient civilizations, such as the Greeks and Romans, who recorded events and genealogies to understand their place in the world.
