History
The first inhabitants came between 3,500 B.C. and 3,000
B.C. These people came from Europe and lived in the south of England. Stonehenge, a huge circle of standing stones,
was built by these early inhabitants
The first known inhabitants were the Celts. They crossed the English Channel many centuries before
the Christian era. The Celts practiced agriculture and dug up minerals. Their
religion was Druidism and their priests
were famous for their magic arts.
Roman religion led by Julius Caesar invaded
Britain in 55 B.C. The Romans
conquered much of the island and ruled it for almost 400 years. They built a lot. The Romans could not control
the entire island. In the northern part, there lived people called Picts. They attacked Roman settlements.
To keep them out, the Roman soldier built great walls with forts and towers.
The greatest monument they left is the Hadrians´s
Wall, between England and Scotland.
The Romans left
Britain at the beggining of the 5th century. And the island was invaded by groups from Germany and Denmark called Angles, Saxons and Jutes. By the 7th
centruy they controlled the most of the island. The tribes united to become the
Anglo-Saxons. They set up several small kingdoms. The southern part of Britain
soon became known as England. The people became known as the English. They
followed the Germanic religion.
Pop George I decided to convert the Anglo-Saxons to
Christianity. At the end of the 6th century, he sent there a mission of 41
monks under the leadership of monk Augustine. By 700 A.D., all England was Chrstian. One of the monks, called Bede, who stayed in England, wrote the first history of English people.
About 835 A.D., bands of Danes began riding the coast of
England. The English kingdom decided to resist and as their leader, they chose Alfred, King of Wessex, after known as Alfred the Great. He became the King of
England. Afterwards he signed a treaty with Danes and they could rule the northeas
part of the country known as the Danelaw. Alfred was well-educated and he
started a school.
In 1042 the witan made Edward the Confessor King of England. He died withou an heir. The
most powerful noble Harold became
the King of England. But William, Duke
of Normandy, a cousin of Edward the Confessor, claimed that before Edward
died he had promised him the English throne. In 1066 William led an army across the sea to England. They met
Harold´s army in battle near Hastings.
After the battle, on Christmas Day, William, now known as William the Conqueror, was crowned King of England in Westminster
Abbey.
William introduced feudalism
into England. He seized (vzal) the land of English nobels and divided them
among Norman nobels. The nobles became William´s vassals (poddaný). During
William´s rule England learns Norman customs. The wealthy built castles,
cathedrals....
After king Richared
called Lionheart died, his brother John started to rule. He increased the
taxes and ignored the law. The nobles angry and forced John to sign the Magna Charta. It lessened the king´s
power and increased that of the nobles. The Magna Charta brought step towards
democracy.
English
history is connected with the dynasty of Tudors.
The first member on the throne was Hentry VII. His son
became one of the most known from the family.
Henry VIII was born at the end of the
15th centruy. He has an outstanding position among English monarchs. As a young
boy, he was strong, generous, talented and skilled in artistic activities. He
realized the changes taking place in Europe and he wanted to be a powerful
monarch to achieve his goals. His teacher was Thomas More, whom Henry made Lord Chancellor. More was executed,
because he didn´t accept Henry´s second marriage with Anne Boleyn.
The most well known fact about
Hentry VIII is that he had six wives.
1. Catherine of Aragon – widow of Henry´s elder brother Arthur. She
was not able to give him a son, a male heir. He convinced himself that this
must be because the marriage is invalid in the eyes of God. Henry wanted an annulement. But it could
come only from Pope, unfortunately who was under the unfluence of Catherin´s
nephew. Henry´s request led to a conflict with Rome, which resulted in the
establishment of the Church of England.
They had a daughter – Mary I.
2. Ann Boleyn, who was later found quilty for adultery (cizoložství)
and was executed.
hey had a daughter – Elisabeth I. and a son – Edward VI
3. Jane Seymour died while giving birth
4. Anne of Claves – Henry divorced her (their marriage was arranged
only on the base of a portrait)
5. Catherine Howard – executed
6. Catherine Parr outlived him
