History ...
as defined:
the aggregate of past events; "a critical time in the school's history"
a record or narrative description of past events; "a history of France";
the discipline that records and interprets past events involving human beings; "he teaches Medieval history"; "history takes the long view"
the continuum of events occurring in succession leading from the past to the present and even into the future; "all of human history"
all that is remembered of the past as preserved in writing; a body of knowledge; "the dawn of recorded history"; "from the beginning of history"

History ... from Erik the Red, Alexander the Great, through Henry VIII and John Lennon ...
and as well Queen Isabella, the two Boleyns, through Marilyn Monroe and Margaret Thatcher...

His Story ... his tory ... history ... the story of the events that preceded our arrival ... a predominantly male view point, as more males could read and write and scribe and record for all posterity ...

Makes sense that it's not herstory ... because hers was more often than not not to tell ...
