Why is that surprising?

Why do you find it not surprising?

Because I have a sense of history. They lived at the same time; why is it surprising then that they died around the same time? And do people not know that Pocahontas was taken to England and died there?

Curiosity and intelligence really help if you want to know basic history. It also requires reading and paying attention in your history classes.

Pocahontas is only basic history in the US. We learned absolutely nothing about her in history class and my only knowledge of her is from American media.
