The Romans in Britain
Julius Caesar first went to Britain in 55 BC but withdrew due to bad weather. In 54 BC he returned with five legions but left to deal with a rebellion. The actual Roman invasion was in 43 AD when Emperor Claudius invaded with legions. Before the Romans, the Celts lived in Britain and the Iceni tribe inhabited Norfolk, led by Queen Boudica who rebelled against Rome between 60-61 AD. The Romans established cities like Londinium and left remains including Hadrian's Wall, built between 122-136 AD along the Scottish border to protect Roman Britain.
A brief history of england
This document provides a brief history of England from prehistory to the 16th century. It summarizes that England was first settled by humans hundreds of thousands of years ago, and was later inhabited by Celtic tribes and conquered by the Romans. Anglo-Saxons invaded in the 5th century and established kingdoms across England. The Normans then invaded in 1066 and established feudal rule under William the Conqueror. The document then outlines the power struggles between English monarchs, the Hundred Years' War with France, and the War of the Roses civil war before concluding with a summary of King Henry VIII's reign in the 16th century.
The roman Britain's life
Roman Britain had a developed civilization before the Roman invasion, with people working as carpenters, farmers, and metalworkers. Most Britons lived in rural areas and farmed, living in round houses without windows. When the Romans invaded in the 1st century AD, they introduced villas with four or five rooms that the Britons emulated. Farms had animals like pigs, sheep, goats, horses and dogs that provided food, leather and wool. Crops like cherries, peas and wheat were grown. Many Britons became slaves after the conquest, working on farms and in mines, and some slaves died young. A Roman named Salvius lived in a large villa in Sussex after serving as a lawyer

Norman conquest
The Norman conquest of England began in 1066 with William, Duke of Normandy's invasion and victory over the English King Harold II at the Battle of Hastings. Harold's army was weakened from a recent victory in the north over the Norwegians. William went on to secure control of England through military force and established Norman rule, replacing the English aristocracy and imposing Norman French language and culture, transforming England. The conquest had wide-ranging and long-lasting influences by linking England more closely to continental Europe and lessening Scandinavian impact.
The romans in Britain
The document summarizes the Roman conquest of Britain in three periods. First, it describes the native Britons who lived in tribes ruled by kings or queens and whose religion was led by the Druids. Second, it explains Julius Caesar's initial invasion in the 1st century BC and his inability to fully conquer Britain. Third, it outlines the full invasion and conquest of Britain as a Roman province led by Emperor Claudius in the 1st century AD under the governorship of Aulus Plautius.
Roman conquest of the ancient celts
The Celts sacked Rome in 390 BC but many stayed in Italy. In 225 BC, much of northern Italy came under Roman control after a campaign. Beyond the Alps, southern Gaul became a Roman province in 121 BC. Caesar left Rome for eight years and subdued the Celtic tribes in Gaul, making alliances with chieftains. In 55 BC and 54 BC, Caesar made two expeditions to Britain, meeting resistance but achieving little except a tribute agreement. The Celts found a leader, Vercingetorix, who had early successes against Caesar but was eventually defeated by the Romans at Alesia and later hanged.
Roman Empire

King Alfred the Great
King Alfred the Great was a 9th century king of Wessex who successfully fought back invading Danish Vikings and reunited England. He was both a soldier and a scholar, leading military campaigns while also promoting education, translating texts into English, and establishing a system of laws based on biblical principles. Through his military and intellectual leadership, Alfred was able to defeat the Vikings and stabilize England during a turbulent period.

- Feudal monarchs had limited power and relied on vassals for military support, while nobles and the Church had significant power in their own domains.
- Both nobles and the Church collected taxes and had their own courts and armies.
- Monarchs tried to centralize power by expanding their royal domains, establishing centralized justice and tax systems, and building standing armies. They also strengthened ties with the middle class.
- After the death of King Edward in 1066, William the Conqueror invaded England from Normandy and defeated the English at the Battle of Hastings, becoming the new King of England.
Very Early British History
The Romans ruled Britain from around AD 40 to 410, after which various Germanic tribes including the Saxons invaded. The Saxons brought their own language and culture and eventually became the dominant people in Britain. In 597, Christian missionaries arrived and introduced Latin and early literature. Vikings also began invading in the late 8th century and ruled parts of England until the 11th century. The epic poem Beowulf was written down in Old English between the 8th-11th centuries, describing events from the 6th century among Scandinavian peoples. In 1066, William the Conqueror invaded from Normandy and defeated the English at the Battle of Hastings, bringing Norman rule.
Romans in Britain
The Romans conquered Britain in the 1st century AD. They were led by emperors like Claudius and generals like Aulus Plautius. The Romans built many structures like Hadrian's Wall, roads, towns, and villas to establish control over Britain. They brought Latin influences that still remain in the English language today including vocabulary words and prefixes/suffixes derived from Latin. The Romans introduced urban planning, central heating, and public baths to Britain and integrated aspects of British Celtic culture with their own.
The Roman Conquest Of Britain
The Romans conquered Britain in the first century AD, after previously conquering Gaul. In 55 BC, a Roman army of 10,000 men crossed the English Channel and invaded Britain, though Julius Caesar's earlier visits did not result in conquest. The Romans established towns and military outposts throughout Britain and introduced social changes among the local Celtic population during their 400-year rule over the island.
The Normans
William the Conqueror invaded England from Normandy in 1066 and defeated King Harold at the Battle of Hastings. The Bayeux Tapestry provides details of the Norman invasion and battle. William established himself as King of England but faced rebellions from Saxons in the north. He built the Tower of London and other castles to demonstrate his power and defend against enemies. Castles had thick walls, moats, and lookouts to protect those inside, who could store food and have access to water if under siege. Norman barons and knights who fought for William were given land and built their own castles with great halls and private family quarters.

As a result of the conquest, Norman French became the dominant language among the new Norman nobility and upper classes in England for the next 200+ years. English remained the primary language of the lower classes. Over time, the languages blended together as the Norman and English populations intermingled through marriage and social interaction. By the late 12th century, both the upper and educated classes had gained knowledge of English, while merchants and some middle class individuals knew French.

Breif history of british film
The British film industry has experienced periods of growth and decline throughout its history. It began in the late 19th century and reached its peak production in the 1930s and 1940s, known as the "golden age" when directors like Michael Powell and Carol Reed created some of their best works. While World War I halted production, the industry rebuilt in the 1920s-1930s due to legislation requiring cinemas to screen a certain percentage of British films. Another successful period occurred during World War II led by filmmakers like Powell and Pressburger. However, declining support from the government in the 1970s-1980s damaged the industry before a modern renaissance beginning in the 2000s with popular franchises like Harry Potter and James

As Lord Protector, Cromwell published new laws and portraits of himself while strongly disliking Catholics and acting as the de facto head of state instead of taking the title of King.
Celtic and roman britain
The Celts were a group of tribes living in Iron Age Western Europe who spoke a Brythonic Celtic language and practiced an oral tradition. Their religion involved ritual ceremonies in forests and human sacrifice. Druids served as priests. Important gods included Dagda, Taranis, Sabrina, Lug, Cernunos, and Matrona. The Celts farmed and grew crops like wheat and barley while keeping livestock. Not all lived in hillforts, with some in smaller enclosed settlements. Celtic villages consisted of extended families living together in round houses made of wood and mud. Women prepared food and men fought using advanced iron tools and chariots in battle. The Romans invaded Britain beginning in 55 BC
2. Caesar
Caesar launched two invasions of Britain in 55 BCE and 54 BCE. The first invasion in 55 BCE saw the Romans struggle to land and fight the Britons directly on the beach, accomplishing little. For the second invasion in 54 BCE, Caesar brought five legions and purpose-built landing craft, landing unopposed. The Britons under Cassivellaunus used guerrilla tactics like harassing foraging parties but avoided direct battles. While Caesar withdrew after receiving hostages, the invasions provided early Roman knowledge of Britain and began the process of Romanization.

The Roman conquest in Britain
The Romans conquered Britain over 2000 years ago. They were attracted by resources and wanted to stop British aid to their enemies in Gaul. Under Julius Caesar and later Emperor Claudius, the Romans established control over southern Britain and built roads, towns, and walls. However, resistance continued in northern and western Britain. A major rebellion led by Boudica destroyed Roman towns before being defeated. Over centuries of rule, Roman culture influenced the Britons through language, religion, architecture and urban life. The Romans withdrew from Britain in the 5th century, leaving a lasting legacy.
History of the british empire
The British Empire grew over 400 years from the late 15th century through the late 20th century. Key phases included establishing colonies in Ireland and the Americas in the early modern period, expanding trade and control in India in the 18th-19th centuries, and engaging in the "Scramble for Africa" in the late 19th century. Decolonization accelerated after World War 2, as most colonies gained independence in the 1960s, marking the symbolic end of the British Empire despite some ongoing territorial control. The empire left a significant political, economic, and cultural legacy worldwide.
