Wondering Wednesday, 18 January 2017: Tell us about your favourite underappreciated rulers in history"
Badhistory is a place to facepalm and discuss the particularly dire sorts of history that we encounter on a day-to-day basis. Although we primarily focus on Reddit, history from anywhere is welcome whether it's from school, tv, books, real life conversations, movies, or anything else.
Badhistory is a place to equally learn, and have a good time, with both serious and silly topics!
