As a timeline, it seems pretty random (why is the "last crusade" depicted on the timeline, but no other crusade?) and not very useful.

As a simple chronological organization of information, it is fine.

Maybe learning dates isn't stupid?

Dates aren't helpful. Organized online documents, however, are.
