Excellent. Got one for 1492 in Spain? Don't remember the battle.

I liked it. Just correct the spelling : it is Poitiers, not Portiers

Do you know what else happened in Spain in 1492? The Christians expelled the Jews of Spain and began the Inquisition. This is hardly something to be proud of.

I agree with slhill. From morbid glee we are getting from our current slaughter, we need to be careful about associating ourselves with the term Christian.

Because it hits like a hammer?
