History of Britain: A Captivating Guide to Events and Facts You Should Know about the Story of England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland

Britain has a long history, from the days of Roman settlements, such as Londinium (modern-day London), to the days of Britain ruling the waves to the subsequent decline of the empire and the rise of the Commonwealth. This book starts us off at the point at which Britain entered into the historical record. Follow along as we unveil the invasion of Julius Caesar and the conquests of later Romans. These were the first people to write down their thoughts and feelings about Britain’s inhabitants. The Roman Empire itself would eventually crash, but Hadrian’s Wall, as well as a multitude of Roman settlements, would remain. These were inherited by the Anglo-Saxons, who arrived from the German-speaking lands just across the English Chanel. The Anglo-Saxons created a rich history and culture but would be supplanted by the Normans in 1066. The Tudor dynasty emerged in 1485, fundamentally chag life in Britain. The most notorious Tudor of all, King Henry VIII, broke free from Roman Catholicism and instituted the Church of England with himself at its head.
