Book excerpt: This work presents a collection of twelve famous escapes or hurried journeys from history, including Charles II's escape after the Battle of Worcester, Marie Antoinette's flight to Varennes, and Winston Churchill's adventures during the Boer War. The stories show how little decisions, odds, and unexpected events can change the course of history and how the success of one plan may be hindered by the failure of another.

Download or read book Welsh History Strange but True written by Geoff Brookes and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2014-04-07 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The earliest prehistoric burial in Europe was found in Wales. The skeleton was known as the ‘Red Lady of Paviland’ – well, until scientists discovered that it had, in fact, belonged to a man... ‘Rhodri the Great’, Wales’ first king, was killed by a Saxon army. The second King of Wales was killed by his own men... English armies usually contained Welsh bowmen. A Welsh-fired arrow could – and did – go all the way through armour, leg, saddle and horse. Welsh bowmen often used English longbows against them, firing them at point-blank range during ambushes...This book contains hundreds of ‘strange but true’ facts and anecdotes about Welsh history. Arranged into a miniature history of Wales, and with bizarre and hilarious true tales for every era, it will interest and delight readers everywhere.
