The document discusses the importance of chronology in history. It explains that chronology is how historians order events and dates by when they occurred in time. It states that it is important in history to understand the time period being discussed, how long ago it was, and how it fits into the broader context of what came before and after. Understanding chronology helps build a complete picture of history stretching back to when the Anglo-Saxons ruled England.

1.  Chronology is very important in
History. It is how we order events
and important dates, by when they
happened in time.
In history we need to know
what period of time we are
talking about and how long ago
that was! Even better if we can
put that period of history into
context (understand what came
before it and what came after
it). This will help us build up a
complete picture of history
stretching back to when the
Anglo-Saxons ruled over
England.
