The Norman Conquest:
In the year 1066, England braced itself for invasion.
But instead of William the Conqueror, a very different army arrived:
a coalition of famous Normans, each convinced they were destined to rule Britain through charm, confusion, and occasional slapstick.
Bowler, Whiteside, Eshley, Rossington and Wisdom - each bringing their own very specific, very unhelpful talents to 1066. |  |

The creation of the Bayern Tapestry
A half and half scarf depicting a very early battle in the war to become conquerors of Europe. One side tasted an embarrassing defeat while the other wasn't able to capitalize on this minor victory but still went on to celebrate their participation with an open top bus parade.

The Signing of the Magna Farter — a charter outlining strict new rules on royal conduct, including:
A limit on the king’s “unannounced emissions” during official ceremonies
A requirement to warn the nobility before “any atmospheric disturbances”
A clause insisting that future monarchs avoid cabbage before negotiations
Humiliated but outnumbered, King John signed the document with watery eyes and a trembling quill. The barons, satisfied, dispersed — and the Magna Farter was quietly filed away in the royal archives, where it remained for centuries, pressed flat by embarrassment and poor ventilation.
Though overshadowed by its more respectable sibling, the Magna Farter is remembered by a select few scholars as the moment England first demanded accountability… and fresh air. |
Magna Carta wasn't actually signed, King John applied his royal seal, which would obviously have had its effect on the Magna Farter. |  | | |

1666: Isaac Newton Discovers Gravy. ( He was quite well known before that, his stock rose ten fold! ) Also, there was a misprint in the original transcription, so they had to take out the letters " it ", as it was a matter of some gravity :) |  | | |

The Sivell Rights Movement:
A typo in a pamphlet accidentally launches the Sivell Rights Movement, a nationwide campaign apparently dedicated to elevating the former Ipswich Town goalkeeper Laurie Sivell. Activists march with banners like “Stand Up for Sivell”, assuming he’s a symbol of justice rather than a man who bravely dived at strikers’ boots.
Laurie, baffled but polite, addressed a rally and simply said, “I’m just here to stop the ball going in.” This was immediately hailed as a profound statement about resisting injustice.
Eventually, the mix‑up was revealed, but by then Laurie became an unlikely folk hero — the only goalkeeper in history to advance social equality entirely by accident. | |
