Anyone know what the phrase 'historically contingent' means?

In the context of the question
'Keeping the British End Up'. To what extent is James Bond's Britishness historically contingent?

Thanks for the replies - this was a query I got from DS who's doing History & politics at Warwick & wasn't too sure of the angle they were wanting.
I'd guess that's what it means Skribble, but I wasn't sure if there was an 'official' definition that I wasn't aware of - as far as I remember it wasn't a term in use when I did my history degree 30 years ago (though I have to admit,as soon as I discovered we didn't get assessed in histoiography I rather let it slip...)

I googled too, but all the sites that looked as if they had something useful were academic ones and wouldn't let me in
Thanks again
