It's not a given that we would care about history. In fact, it is increasingly common for people to treat our history with a sense of resentment. The monks of old spent their lives preserving such a record. Have you considered why?
In my later years I have become very skeptical of history and particularly what any government or politician says . There are many books that demonstrate the lies we have been told over the decades and centuries.
"To be ignorant of what happened before you were born is to remain forever a child.
"For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?" - Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)
Really enjoyed this - In my school days nothing happened before 1066.

were true " Winston Churchill.
A few books that demonstrate my point. They are all available on line.

Yes that annoys me as pretentious and another version is the change in pronouciation of Bodicia. Academics announce it as Bowdeca.
