Line 1:
Line 1: − '''1066 and All That,''' by W. C. Sellar and E. J. Yeatman, is a classic work of humor that pretends to be a history of England. It was first published in 1931 and has been so popular that it has stayed in print ever since. Its full title is:+ − :''1066 and All That: A Memorable History of England, comprising all the parts you can remember, including 103 Good Things, 5 Bad Kings and 2 Genuine Dates.'' − People who are studying English history appreciate its muddled, tongue-in-cheek humor. According to Sellar and Yeatman, for example, what they call the "[[Magna Carta|Magna Charter]]" said − *That no one was to be put to death, save for some reason—(except the Common People);+ − *That everyone should be free—(except the Common People); − *That everything should be of the same weight and measure throughout the Realm—(except the Common People) − − and concludes that "Magna Charter was therefore the chief cause of Democracy in England, and thus a ''Good Thing'' for everyone (except the Common People)." − − 1066 is a reference to the year the [[Battle of Hastings]] was fought, a date that all English schoolchildren memorize, like 1776 in the United States; it is one of Sellar and Yeatman's "2 Genuine Dates."
