Q: What is the real reason to learn history?

A: To understand Monty Python and Blackadder jokes.

One of the great things about teaching history is that Monty Python has ready-made lesson plans that are entertaining too. How do you introduce Chivalry and a knight's code of conduct? The Black Knight scene and the Swamp Castle scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, of course.
