English Civil War

BRB, just assaulting the walls of a Royalist stronghold! 😂😂😂

Into history? There's nothing better to do with friends than storm a bastion – that's the life of a pikeman in the Earl of Manchester's Regiment of Foote!

History is a fascinating tale of twists and turns. When it comes to historical movies, they can be both captivating and misleading. Take, for instance, 'Chaava.' Let's ensure our historical knowledge goes beyond the big screen to avoid creating a nation of zombies. #knowledge #historybuff#quotes
