-includes the cards
i. Foul 'N' Freaky (13/20): Warm 'n' Reveal: Funny Byz-Ness - being a Byzantine emperor was dangerous; you just didn't know who to trust. Many emperors got assassinated and often by their supposed closest friends (e.g Justinian, whose mosaic is on the front of the card)
ii. Worst Ever: Sports Riot -the thuggish fans of chariot races in Constantinople, there were two gangs - the Blues and the Greens, always got into punch-ups. Their fights made modern hooligans look tame. In AD 532, some fans were condemned to death for fighting, but the fight became a really big one when the Emperor Justinian refused to pardon the fans. The fans rioted and the battle became an attempt to get rid of the Emperor... (25/60)
iii. Worst Ever: Byzantine Battle - in 1071 the Byzantines got bashed by the Turks at the Battle of Manzikert, a battle which could have been avoided if the Emperor Romanus had accepted the Turkish Sultan's peace deal and if his Norman soldiers had not deserted him... (26/60)
iv. Lousy Lasts: Byzantine Emperor - Constantine XI was the last emperor of the Byzantine empire, which by now was tiny and consisted of only one city...Constantinople. The Ottoman Turks invaded in 1453 and overthrew the city and empire (53/60)

-includes the cards
i. Foul 'N' Freaky (18/20): Glow in the Dark: Curious Curies. Marie Curie and her husband Pierre were a pair of scientists and their Curi - osity led them to make astounding discoveries with only an old cupboard as a lab - they discovered how radioactive particles shoot through flesh and bone
ii. Worst Ever: Suffragette Suffering - Emily Davison was an angry lady, angry that even in 1913, British women couldn't vote.

iii. Foul Firsts: Beastly Borstals - in Edwardian times, some naughty boys (seriously naughty that is) got sent to Borstal, special prisons for young hooligans which had been introduced in 1902 (43/60)

76. Potty Portugal [top]
-includes the cards
i. Foul 'N' Freaky (5/20): Scratch 'N' Sniff: Seasick Sailors -life on a Portuguese explorer's ship was more than enough to make you sick! Stormy seas could make you really really seasick, so spare a thought for Bartholomew Dias who got caught in a 2-week storm in 1487...
ii. Woeful Work: Cod Catcher - Portuguese cod fishermen had a terrible time in the 1900s - they fished from tiny 'dory' boats that could get snagged by whales and towed out to sea (12/60)
iii. Worst Ever: Crazy Crusade: King Sebastian of Portugal led a crazy crusade into the middle of a red-hot desert in Morocco in 1578 - a ride into certain death (28/60)
iv. Lousy Lasts: King of Portugal: By 1910, the royal family in Portugal were hated for ruining the country. The last king was Manuel II - when he got booted out, he spent his exile in England (55/60)

77. The Awesome North American Indians [top]
-includes the cards
i. Foul 'N' Freaky (6/20):Scratch 'N' Sniff: Sweat Lodge: after a tough day hunting buffalo, Native Americans would get hot, sweaty and stinky in a sauna with attitude, called a 'sweat lodge'
ii. Woeful Work: Horse Herder - if you were a horse herder in the Blackfoot tribe you really had to keep alert because warriors from other tribes were always trying to steal the horses. The herders were just boys of eight years old though... (13/60)
iii. Foul Firsts: Smallpox Epidemic - in 1616, the Indians of New England received a terrible gift from the visiting English slave traders - smallpox. North American Indians had never had the disease and the mortality rate in some tribes reached an horrific 95% (44/60)
iv. Lousy Lasts: The Last of the Yahi - this sad story tells of the Yahi tribe of California, who were all killed in the 1860s by land-hungry white settlers. In 1908, some surveyors found 4 survivors still alive in the forest...BUT...instead of helping them, they stole their food and a further 3 died, leaving only one who was known as Ishi (55/60)

78. The Polar Brrrs [top]
-includes the cards

ii. Worst Ever: Polar Picnic: crazy French explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot had a picnic on the ice on his 1904 trip to Antarctica (29/60)
iii. Foul Firsts: South Pole Soccer: Ernest Shackleton was stuck - his ship and all his crew were stuck in the ice. So he held the South Pole's first game of ice-football (45/60)
iv. Lousy Lasts: Franklin's Final Trip. John Franklin set out in 1845 with 129 men to explore the icy North-West passage. After some time it was real-iced they had gone missing and their cannibalised bodies weren't redice-covered until 1854. Turns out their tinned food was contaminated with lead used to seal the cans...(57/60)

79. Awful England Again [top]
-includes the cards

ii. Woeful Work: Saltpetre Man - surely no-one in their right mind would want to go round collecting people's poo and wee? Would they? Well, actually, they did. In the 1600s, the men that went round doing this were called the Saltpetre men. Saltpetre was used in the manufacture of gunpowder and the collection of the poo and wee made the saltpetre men quite well-off (14/60)
iii. Woeful Work: Groom of the Stool - this job involved wiping Henry VIII's (Henry the Eighth's) bottom - you might think no-one would want this job, but any job that allowed a person to get in with the king was worth it in those times (15/60)
iv. Lousy Lasts: Royal Pretender - King Henry IX was Britain's rightful king from 1788 - 1807, but he lived in France. He never actually ruled or even visited Britain and when his cash was stolen in the French revolution, he had to flee to Italy. Henry's family (the Stuarts) had been kicked off the throne in 1688 by a new Royal family (58/60)

80. Rotten Round-Up [top]
includes the cards
i. Foul 'N' Freaky (20/20): Henry VIII: probably needs no introduction this card - needless to say that of his six wives, two ended up having their heads chopped off by the fat king... You'd think it would end there, BUT, Catherine Howard's and Anne Boleyn's ghosts have been popping up ever since. Cathy's spook haunts Hampton Court; whilst Anne's celebrates the eve of her death by walking round the Tower of London with her head under her arm...
ii. Worst Ever: Foul Funeral - funerals aren't supposed to be fun, but the funeral of Ghengis Khan, the Mongol warrior, was extra miserable. Ghengis wanted his death kept secret and ordered that anyone who even saw his funeral was killed. After the burial, the 50 grave diggers were killed by 50 soldiers who were then themselves killed... (30/60)
iii. Lousy Lasts: The Great Plague - Bubonic plague used to be common in Europe and was spread by fleas. Sufferers got horrid swellings, fevers, headaches and almost always died. So when the last big outbreak hit Europe in 1665 (The Great Plague), drastic action was taken and victims and their families were shut inside their homes and left to die with guards stood outside. Occasionally escape attempts were made and guards murdered...(59/60)
iv. Lousy Lasts: Napoleon's Home - After the Brits beat Napoleon Bonaparte at Waterloo in 1815, they needed to get him out of the way and so they sent the fiery French Emperor to St. Helena, a tiny windy island thousands of miles away.
