There are many web sites describing the English Kings and Queens. Where this one differs is the addition of a background history of Europe of which England is very much a part. Also we have included the men and women, many of whom had a bigger impact on history than any member of the Royal Family. These pages are a much more detailed account of the History of England than the quick timeline guide which is designed to give only a rapid overview for those new to the history of England.

Background

England or the Land of the Angles did not exist until about 500 AD when, after the Romans left the western Germanic tribe the Angles invaded. So to commence the History of England we must have a snapshot of Europe leading up to this time.

The Romans called the land we now call England plus the adjacent territories Wales and Scotland, Britannium.

2000 years ago.

The Romans had set foot on Britain, had not yet settled but were ruling all of Europe south of the Rhine and Danube Rivers from Gaul (France) through North Africa as far east as Palestine (Judea) and tentatively Baghdad.

Religion. From Pagans to Christians.

Jesus lived and taught in Judea under Roman rule from about 5 BC to 30 AD and his message of peace and kindness was revolutionary at the time when slavery was the norm and cruelty and murder commonplace. A key part of his message was that a poor man (for example a slave) had more chance of going to heaven than his rich boss. At the time Romans and Jews (Israelites) alike had slaves to do the hard work. The Romans, including the Romans ruling in faraway Britain did not change en mass from their pagan religion to Christianity, coupled with its moral code, until some 300 years after Jesus death.

The Roman Empire and its enemies.

Roman territory we have seen included present day England in the west to present day Baghdad in the east and from North Africa in the south to the banks of the rivers Rhine and Danube in the north. East of these boundaries were the mighty Persians (Iran) and north and North East were a large number of semi nomadic tribes stretching from the Atlantic coast in the west right through to the Mongolian steppes in the east. The further east you go the more skilled the tribes were in using horses in battle including the art of shooting arrows from bows when ones horse is in full gallop. From about 200 AD onwards there was a steady migration westwards, as the warlike peoples of Mongolia put pressure on their next door neighbours eventually causing those, thousands of miles west, on the Atlantic sea board to take to their boats in search of new land. These tribes are listed here, in order from the Atlantic west to the far east, as they were in 500 AD.

Answer 2

Respuesta:

The fifth and eleventh centuries of British history have been called the "Dark Ages" because very little is known of that historical period. This era is, however, truly crucial in the formation of the British nations, because it is the moment in which two radical events occur in a few years: the Roman abandonment of the island and the invasion by Anglos, Jutes and Saxons . This period concludes with an absolute supremacy of the Anglo-Saxon, an unstoppable retreat from the Celtic that, secluded in Wales and Scotland, maintained the Latin heritage. The scarcity of historical sources has served as an incentive to let the imagination run wild for these centuries, the temporary scene of the Arthurian cycle.
