This is but one of many instances in which “History” as related by imperial chroniclers chose to foreground a story that could be turned into a tale of White English victimhood while obscuring another, much deadlier event that did not lend itself to that narrative.
History (or what we know of it) is usually the victor's or survivors' narrative, often obfuscating truths and ignoring evidednce which goes against the desired glorification or virtue signalling agenda.
