When the Romans left, many cultures competed for power: Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, however, in 1066 the Normans gained control of the country. Internal struggle between the Welsh, Scots, and the Irish continued with many social and political changes taking form. External wars and exploration began in the 1500's and commercial ventures and colonizing soon followed. Civil war in the 1600's and the struggle for national leadership continued whilst international wars flourished. The industrial revolution brought more social changes and a series of wars, including the two world wars which have diminished the world power capability of the United Kingdom.

Extractions: mark.canada@uncp.edu The English language was born when three Germanic tribesthe Angles, Saxons, and Jutescame to Britain in A.D. 449. At the time, the people in these tribes were speaking their own language, the same Germanic dialects that they and others had spoken back on the European continent. Because they were now separated from the speakers still on the continent, however, their version of the language changed along different lines, eventually evolving into a separate language: English. Although we recognize the language these people spoke in Britain back in the 5th century and for many ensuing centuries as an early version of our own, it is dramatically different from our own in its phonology, lexicon, morphology, syntax, and graphic system. For this reason, we refer to it as Old English, or Anglo-Saxonafter the names of two of the tribes who spoke it. For example, Old English had many words and letters that are no longer part of Modern Englishwords such as

Indeed, we live in a world of visual signs and images from the label on a bottle to an 'old master' painting. The role of art history therefore is to give factual knowledge about the way the image was made, and the situation in which it was created. The following modules will be studied and explored.

Extractions: Four Key Dates to Remember A.D. 410 The fall of Rome. Barbarians (nomadic German tribes living in the Roman Empire) became frustrated with how the Empire was treating them. Alaric, their leader, asked the Empire for land so his people could settle. When refused, Alaric led an attack on Rome in A.D. 410 and won. A.D. 476 After the initial fall of Rome in A.D. 410, the emperor of Rome was not removed. The people of Rome struggled against the barbarians for the next several years. In A.D. 452 Attila the Hun attacked Italy, and before he reached Rome was persuaded by the Roman Bishop, Leo, to retreat. In A.D. 455 the Vandals attacked Rome. This time Leo could not persuade the barbarians to retreat and Rome was "vandalized." In A.D. 476 a barbarian named Odovacer deposed the last Western emperor. The Western Empire ceased to exist. Only the Eastern Empire remained.

For the sake of the strife which he loved, he suggested that the warriors of Ulster and Connacht should compare their principal deeds of arms, and give the carving of the boar of mac Datho to him who seemed to have done best in the border-fighting which was always going on between the provinces. It was won by neither party. # 454: Satirist and mischief-maker at Conchobar's court. He incited rivalry between the heroes CuChulain, Conall and Loegaire by assigning the 'hero's portion' of the feast to the best warrior. The champions' three wives were driven to contend for the place of honour. The dispute was settled by Cu Roi mac Daire who offered the heroes a chance of playing the beheading game; only CuChulain would play it and so won the contest. Bricriu was surnamed Nemthenga or Poison-Tongue. Titular goddess of the Brigantes, of the West Riding in Yorkshire. A dedication and bas-relief at Birrens depicts her with the victorious attributes of Minerva and wearing the mural crown of Cybele, which shows how the Romans adopted her into their own mythos. Natively, she was a goddess of water and of pastoral activities. She may be equated with the Irish Brigit.

Extractions: United Kingdom People United Kingdom (select a region) United Kingdom People The population mix of the British Isles has been constantly changing since the first invaders arrived as the ice sheets finally departed. People have arrived either because they have been pushed out of their homeland or because they have been pulled towards the British Isles. Some like the Romans arrived as invaders with the sole purpose of extending their empire. They left little mark on the people of these Isles. During the Dark Ages after the collapse of the Roman Empire, invaders swept across Europe from the east. These forced the Angles, Jutes and Saxons living in northern Europe to move west and to eventually cross the North Sea. Undoubtedly these had a major affect on the population because they eventually settled and farmed the land. The Normans came as invaders - the last time in our history - but stayed and made a lasting impression on the culture and language of the people of these Isles. The total population was about two million at that time. We can be reasonably sure of this because of the Domesday Book.

Extractions: Gadberry Connection What the Gadberry name means and what its origin is may date back to eighth century western Europe. It was about this time that a group of adventuring Scandinavians, the Vikings, began settling the eastern shores of the Atlantic. Settlements were established on the island we now call Great Britain and also in France as well as other areas of the Atlantic on both eastern and western shores. It is the Viking settlers of France who may be most responsible for the Gadberry name as well as many other English' names. When the Vikings arrived in England, they found descendants of the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, Germanic tribes who had arrived in the fifth century. These three tribes had settled in different areas: the Angles in Northumbria, Mercia and East Anglia, the name England came from them. There is archaeological evidence that the Jutes settled in Kent, The Isle of Wight and Hampshire. The Saxons were evidently scattered over the island. The Vikings established what were to become important settlements at York and Dublin and by the year 1016 had established the Anglo-Danish dynasty, but this was to be a short-lived government. At the time England was being settled other Vikings were also settling the area of Northern France we now call Normandy. These settlers, later called Normans, were expansive, extending their area of influence further into France until they had received official recognition by Charles the Simple, King of France in 911. Their conquests were not to stop there. William the Conqueror (William, Duke of Normandy) leading the Normans, had by 1066 crossed the English channel, defeated their Viking cousins, conquered London and William had been crowned King. The Normans made many changes in England, replacing the Anglo-Saxon language, or common mans language with French and instituting Latin as the governmental language (now you know why Lawyers and Doctors talk the way they do)!

The Romans were the first to "invade" the nation in 43 AD and took only seven years to quell resistance and control most of England. Next the Angles, Jutes and Saxons began to move into the vacuum, absorbing the Celts, and local fiefdoms developed. By the 7th century, these fiefdoms had grown into a series of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms which had come to collectively think of themselves as English. This assimilation into English culture was to happen again after the Norman invasion in the 11th century, as they soon to "melted" in with the Saxons. The following centuries saw a series of royal tiffs, political intrigues, plague, unrest and revolt. Ending all of this was England's colonial period in which it collected colonies including America, India, Canada and Australia, although they would lose most of these (or at least their power over them) in coming centuries. Finally, the World Wars took their toll on England and the rest of Europe in the early 20th century, but they were resonant as a nation and today, in combination with their UK partners, are one of the top economic and political powers in the world.

Thomas William Rolleston was the son of Charles Rolleston-Spunner, who was fifty years of age when T.W. was born at Glasshouse Shinrone in 1857. Charles was a brilliant barrister and later a distinguished County Court Judge for Tipperary. He adopted the additional surname Spunner as a result of inheriting an estate in 1867 from Thomas Spunner. From Glasshouse, the young T.W. was sent to St. Columba's College, Rathfarnham, where he was head-pupil. Later he had a distinguished career in Trinity College, culminating in his winning the Vice-Chancellor's Prize for English verse in 1876. He was married twice, first to Edith de Burgh of Kildare, who died in 1896 and secondly to Maud, one of the six daughters of the Rev. Stopford, who in his day, was a well known preacher and poet. T.W. had eight children from the two marriages, and lived at 104 Pembroke Road in Dublin before moving to Hampstead in London.

Extractions: Heritage > Rulers Vortigen British High King In the early fifth century Britain was under attack not only from the Saxons and other Germanic tribes but also from the Picts, Scots and Irish tribes. The chief ruler, or high king, in Southern Britain was called Vortigen (his title not name). Vortigen hired Germanic mecenaries led by the brothers Hengist and Horsa, in the 440's, offering land in Kent in return for their services against the Northern raiders. Revolt of Hengist and Horsa Ambitious for more land however the brothers turned on the Britons. Though defeated by Vortigen's son, Vortimer (who was killed during the battle) in 460, they soon returned; Hengist and his son Aesc established the kingdom of Kent, the first anglo-saxon kingdom, after defeating the Britons in 473. Hengist and Horsa and their men were called 'Jutes' by the chronicler Bede. Their home was, however, probably not Jutland but the Rhineland, where they were closely related to the Angles and Saxons. Celts defeat Jutes at Richborough After the unsuccessful Vortigen, a new leader emerged, Ambrosius Aurelianus, identified with a Welsh hero Emrys. He may have replaced Vortigen as a kind of high king, uniting the Britons against the invaders. He is said to have been a great cavalry commander, who held back the Jutes and won victory over the Angles in 493.

Extractions: Subsections King from 802-837 A.D. Egbert the Saxon lived at the same time as did Harun-al-Rashid and Charlemagne. He was the first king who ruled all England as one kingdom. Long before his birth the people who are known to us as Britons lived there, and they gave to the island the name Britain. But Britain was invaded by the Romans under Julius Cæsar and his successors, and all that part of it which we now call England was added to the Empire of Rome. The Britons were driven into Wales and Cornwall, the western sections of the island. The Romans kept possession of the island for nearly four hundred years. They did not leave it until 410, the year that Alaric sacked the city of Rome. At this time the Roman legions were withdrawn from Britain. Some years before this the Saxons, Angles and Jutes, German tribes, had settled near the shores of the North Sea. They learned much about Britain; for trading vessels, even at that early day, crossed the Channel. Among other things, the men from the north learned that Britain was crossed with good Roman roads, and dotted with houses of brick and stone; that walled cities had taken the place of tented camps, and that the country for miles round each city was green every spring with waving wheat, or white with orchard blossoms. After the Roman legions had left Britain, the Jutes, led, it is said, by two great captains named Hengist and Horsa, landed upon the southeastern coast and made a settlement.
