Event Description
When you were at school you were forced to learn dates of battles and explore the crop rotation system in history lessons. What your history teachers failed to do was answer the big questions like-
Who is the most destructive man who ever lived? What is the Roman Pornocracy?
How were medieval arrows like Swiss Army knives?
In this talk, author and historian Jem Duducu brings together a collection of obscure, counterintuitive and above all entertaining moments from history for you to enjoy and marvel at.
