* CanisLatinicus: The book describes the cause of Henry I's death as a surfeit of palfreys. This is noted on a genealogical chart of kings as "obit surfeiti palfreyorum," or "o.s.p." for short. (Normally, "o.s.p." is an abbreviation for "obit sine prole," meaning having died without issue.)

''1066 and All That'' is TheAbridgedHistory of England by Walter Carruthers Sellar and Robert Julian Yeatman, with illustrations by John Reynolds. The book's lengthy subtitle is ''A Memorable History of England Comprising All the Parts You Can Remember Including One Hundred and Three Good Things, Five Bad Kings, and Two Genuine Dates''. It was first printed in 1931 after being serialized in ''Magazine/{{Punch}}''.
The text covers only the ''memorable'' parts of English history, starting with the memorable Roman Emperor Julius Caesar's invasion of Britain in 55 B.C., one of the only two memorable dates in English History (the other being, of course, ''William the Conqueror, Ten Sixty-six''), and giving special attention to all the Good Things that happened to make England C. of E. and Top Nation.
The book also includes several Test Papers, as well as a few Errata.
