The History Lesson

Of all his lessons with Doctor Cornelius the one that Caspian liked best was History . Up till now, except for Nurse's stories , he had known nothing about the History of Narnia, and he was very surprised to learn that the royal family were newcomers in the country .
" It was your Highness's ancestor, Caspian the First , "said Doctor Cornelius , "who first conquered Narnia and made it his kingdom . It was he who brought all your nation into the country . You are not native Narnians at all. You are all Telmarines-that is , you all came from the Land of Telmar , far beyond the Western Mountains . That is why Caspian the First is called Caspian the Conqueror."
" Please, Doctor," asked Caspian one day , "who lived in Narnia before we all came here out of Telmar ?"
" No men - or very few - lived in Narnia before the Telmarines took it , " said Doctor Cornelius .
" Then who did my great-great-grancesters conquer?"
" Whom and not who , your Highness ," said Doctor Cornelius . " Perhaps it is time to turn from History to Grammar ."
" Oh please , not yet ," said Caspian . " I mean wasn't there a battle ? Why is he called Caspian the Conqueror if there was nobody to fight with him ?" ........... to be continued .
