After falling for one historical misconception too many, the time is now right to launch a spirited fightback. This lighthearted guide reveals the many myths, fabrications and ambiguities found in the annals of world history. For example, Winston Churchill was not born in a ladies' toilet, Lucrezia Borgia was not an infamous poisoner and as you've guessed, St Patrick wasn't Irish.
