For 7th grade British History we had to know all the rulers, in order, from Charlemagne (or was it Charles Martel aka Charles the Hammer) to present day (1980s). Obviously I didn't learn it.
Funny now, I learned more after watching The Tudors, Wolf Hall, and The White Queen, than I did it that awful class. Wasn't all bad though. We got to make our own Medieval weapons (I made a Morning Star) and had a tour book of the London Dungeon (pretty gruesome) hanging on the classroom wall; won't find that these days.
- jameshart 12y agoWeird. Charlemagne was ruler of a lot of places, but Britain wasn't one of them...
- madengr 12y agoYeah, he was Normandy IIRC, but I assume many descended from him, but as I said, I hated that class.
- schoen 12y agoThis makes me think of "I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical / From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical".
