For instance in 43AD Britain was invaded by Romanians who took all the locals jobs, bleeding eastern Europeans etc etc etc

Henry VIII who has gone down in history as a king, whereas he was no more than a small time drug dealer
The real originator of the police force was a bloke called Arthur Cop, not Robert Peel
Francis Drake actually had trouble with his bowels when he saw the size of the Spanish Armada (he shat himself)
Walter Rayleigh invented the bicycle - and was a favourite with Elizabeth I due to the size of his cock.....known in court circles as the Rayleigh Chopper
His actual name was Alfred the grate, due to his burning of the cakes on the fire
Similarly Bonnie Prince Charlie was really known as Bony Prince Charlie due to his only ever eating deep fried Mars Bars...... which had not been invented by then |  | | |

Its a little known fact that Drake became deaf after his encounter with the Spanish in the channel, he suffered from 'armada hearing' | |

Which was a shame,
as he was able never hear his crew sing 'the King of Spains beard'
a popular sea shanty of the time, I'm led to believe | | | |

Still hard to believe that one giant French ancestor of Norman wisdom's single handedly conquered the UK. Also recent archaeological excavations have revealed that Stone age caveman didn't hunt wolly mammoths and there diet mainly consisted of alphabeti spaghetti, tea cakes and vegan cheese |  | | |

Bless him, he wasn't the brightest penny and being the youngest member of a famous Scottish pop group found his trip to Derby was the inspiration for their biggest hit | |

I think you mean Wally Mammoths, as opposed to wolly mammoths
Poor Wally was hunted to extinction, hence the phrase 'where's wally ?' | | | |

I believe that was invented by a Scot, William Wallies and a variation is still played in Scotland where the women folk occupy their time while their hair is in curlers by sweeping the ice with household brooms as a very large casserole dish is thrown down towards them. | | | |
