What's the funniest historical story you know?

Mine has to be The War of the Oaken Bucket basically it's this medieval conflict, it began when soldiers from Modena, Italy, stole a wooden bucket from Bologna. Enraged by the theft, Bologna declared war on Modena, resulting in the Battle of Zappolino. Modena won and kept the bucket as a trophy. To this day, the original bucket is still kept in Modena’s city hall lol
