History is full of exciting events, and made up of unusual, interesting people, who have influenced the lives of others around them in some way, good or bad.

The stories around historical events and the people who have made these events happen, have come down to us through archaeological reconstructions, written records, books, or sometimes even through folk memory. These stories are as exciting and as unusual as the events and people they tell us about.
