Ralph Neville 1st earl of Westmorland, 13641425 (from http://infoplease.lycos.com/ce5/CE055469.html ) The familyof Ralph Neville was one of the most powerful in England and shared domination of the northern counties with the Percy family, with whom the Nevilles were closely allied. Neville succeeded his father as Baron Neville of Raby in 1388 and supported Richard II against the baronial party. In 1397 he was created earl of Westmorland. His second wife was Joan Beaufort, daughter of John of Gaunt and half sister of Henry of Lancaster (later Henry IV). When, in 1399, Henry revolted against Richard, Westmorland supported Lancaster. He continued to support Henry as king and helped to put down the Percy revolt in 1403. When a new anti-Lancastrian revolt broke out in 1405, Westmorland captured two of the leaders, Archbishop Richard Le Scrope and the earl marshal of England, by trickery, but he had nothing to do with their quick execution. He was the father of a large family, many of whom made advantageous marriages. His daughter Cecily Neville married Richard, duke of York, and became the mother of

Extractions: St. Alban Francis Bacon was created Viscount St. Alban on 3rd February 1621, shortly after his sixtieth birthday. Thanking King James, Bacon told him that:- This is now the eighth time that your Majesty hath raised me the eighth rise or reach, a diapason in music, even a good number and accord for a close. And so I may without superstition be buried in St. Albans habit or vestment. The eight in music, Bacon wrote elsewhere , is the sweetest concord; but perhaps he had a premonition of what lay ahead, for he also noted that Swans are said at the approach of their own death to chant sweet melancholy dirges. Within a few weeks, without notice, he was falsely accused in Parliament of taking bribes, impeached, stripped of his office and sentenced to a crushing fine. Obeying the command of the King, as demanded by his oath, Bacon did not defend himself but pleaded guilty to the empty charges. In the notes of his interview with the King he refers to himself as being both as innocent as any born upon St. Innocents Day and an oblation or sacrifice to his Majesty. Interestingly the original St. Alban, who lived at Verulamium, had been martyred by his Emperor. Bacons country (and family) estate, Gorhambury, stretched over the site of the Roman town of Verulamium, after which Bacon had been given his first title, Baron Verulam of Verulam. But it was in reference to the saint that Bacon was given his second, higher title, and from that time on he commonly signed himself

Extractions: 15th century 16th century 17th century 18th century th century The reign of Henry IV (1421-1471), who married Margaret, daughter of René of Anjou, was marked by defeats in France and the loss of the markets of Guyenne and Flanders. At the beginning of the l5 th century royal patronage declined. A grave political crisis, the Wars of the Roses (1455-1485), ruined the aristocracy and strengthened the power of the throne. With the Tudors (Henry VII, 1485-1509) commercial and industrial development began. John Lydgate (c. 1370 - c. 1450) adapted Boccaccio. Printing was established in the second half of the l5 th century. John Dunstable (1370-1453), mathematician, astronomer and musician of great melodic invention and clever counterpoint, a disciple of the Italian composers of madrigals, was to have a great influence. th century Absolutism of the monarchy triumphed with Henry VIII, 1509-1547; Edward VI, died 1553; Mary Tudor, died 1558 (married Philip II of Spain; loss of Calais, 1558); Elizabeth, died 1603. Maritime power developed (voyages of Drake, 1577; of Walter Raleigh, 1586 and 1595; annihilation of the enormous Spanish Armada, 1588). The religious problems determined politics. Henry VIII broke away from Catholicism, 1535. By the Act of Supremacy, the king became head of the Church of England. The monasteries were suppressed (1536-1539). Catholicism, restored under Mary, unleashed a persecution of the Protestants. Humanism was very much alive around Henry VIII; Cardinal Wolsey (d. 1530), Thomas More (d. 1535) were friends of Erasmus who visited England between 1495 and 1514 (In Praise of Folly, 1509) as did Luis Vives (about 1522-1530). The poets Thomas Wyatt and Henry Howard wrote sonnets in the Italian manner. The Elizabethan period was the golden age of English literature (Spenser, Philip Sidney, the 'poets of love') with Christopher Marlowe and the genius Shakespeare. Music held a high place; Henry VIII was a composer. The school of virginals and madrigals was important; W. Byrd (1543-1623) was the organist of the Chapel Royal.

The History of great britain dates back to the Stone Age, a period of with Franceand within the country ( struggle for the throne, the wars of the roses).
http://bez-2-12.boom.ru/ENGLISH.htm

Extractions: THE HISTORY OF GREAT BRITAIN. The History of Great Britain dates back to the Stone Age, a period of culture when weapons and tools were made of stone. The inhabitants of the British Isles probably came from the Iberian (Spanish) peninsula. Its hard to say anything about these people as not much was found by archaelogists. One of the mysterious monuments of prehistoric Britain is the so-called Stonehenge a circular structure formed by big slabs 8,5 meters high, weighing 7 tons each. Some scientists believe it was a place of worship, others a sort of an ancient capital or even an astronomical observatory. In the VII-th century Before Christ (B.C.) the country was invaded by the Celts who came from Europe. People of one of the Celtic tribes were called Britons, so they gave this name to the new homeland. They were good warrions and proved it when they repulsed a 10- thousand Roman army with Julius Caesar at the head. It was in 55 B.C. Only a century later, in 43 A.D.(Anno Domini) the Romans actually occupied Britain and it was one of the provinces of the Roman Empire up to 410. The Romans built towns with streets, markets and shops. Their houses had central heating, the baths were decorated with columns and fine statues. When the Romans left, the Germanic tribes started raiding Britain but already by the 5 th century A.D. the Saxons, Angles and Jutes had occupied the country. These wild tribes destroyed the beautiful towns, buildings and roads. They preferred to settle in small villages. The Anglo Saxons established a number of kingdoms. Later the dialect of the Angles became predominant and the new name of England was given to the whole country. In the VI th century England accepted Christianity and a lot of monasteries and churches were built, places of learning and education. During the VIII IX th centuries England fought against new raiders, called Vikings (Scandinavian people Danes and Norwegians) and England could get rid of them only in the X th century. In 1066 William, Duke of Normandy, claimed that he was promised the English throne by his cousin the English King long before his death. As he couldnt settle the question peacefully, he conquered the country and was named William the Conqueror. During the Middle Ages ten different kings ruled England with the help of the barons. Four kings were murdered and three came to the throne by violence. In the XIV th century a terrible plague, the Black Death, killed one third of the population. At that time Englishmen suffered a lot from wars: with France and within the country ( struggle for the throne, the Wars of the Roses). In the XVI th century Britain was ruled by the members of the powerful Tudor Family. Henry the VIII th is known as a pitiless tyrant who murdered his friends, advisors, wives. His daughter Mary was called, Bloody Queen Mary. She is a symbol of cruelty who ordered to burn hundreds of Protestants. Another Henrys daughter who ruled Britain 45 years was Elizabeth I , one of the best loved English monarchs. Her reign was glorious and England became a flourishing country. The XVII th century introduced a new family of rules the Stuarts. It was the age of a bitter struggle between Parliament and the Stuarts. Parliament finally won and everybody understood that the kings in Britain lost their absolute power. The XVIII XIX th centuries are known as the Georgian Period, because the four kings who ruled Britain were all named George. During this period Britain became the most important manufacturing country and the most powerful empire in the world. Gradually the British Empire started losing its colonies but remained a highly developed industrial country. At present it is a Parliamentary monarchy. The hereditary principle on which the monarchy is founded is strictly observed. Queen Elizabeth II is not just the sovereign of the United Kingdom, she is also the Head of the Commonwealth. Although her active role in politics is minimal she is a symbol of an impartial head of the state. Kotov Victor, 8 B A HREF="http://www.psina31.ru/">

Extractions: The Richard III Foundation, Inc. is respectfully requesting that the bones in the Tower, that are alleged to be the sons of Edward IV, be subjected to modern scientific examination and the treatment of DNA analysis. The examination of the bones will not only bring closure to their identity, but it will also bestow them with an appropriate and lasting place in the annals of history. King Richard III, the reigning monarch from 1483-1485, has through the writings of Sir Thomas More and William Shakespeare been vilified for over 515 years. It is imperative that we put to rest the resolution of one of Englands greatest historical mysteries. But, it is equally paramount that we provide justice for a man wrongly accused. Sir Thomas More wrote "The History of Richard" in 1513. More was five years of age when Richard became King of England and lived in the household of John Morton, a Lancastrian sympathizer. More had no interaction with Richard and relied upon anti-Yorkist sources for his information. His publication was never published during his lifetime and contained many blank spaces making it plausible that they were filled with historical inaccuracies. We have no knowledge if Charles II read Mores account. What we do know is that during his reign, bones were found while demolition was taking place in the Tower and were presumed to be the missing princes.

Extractions: Encyclopedia London, city, England Little is known of London prior to A.D. 61, when, according to the Roman historian Tacitus, the followers of Queen Boadicea rebelled and slaughtered the inhabitants of the Roman fort Londinium. Roman authority was soon restored, and the first city walls were built, remnants of which still exist. After the final withdrawal of the Roman legions in the 5th cent., London was lost in obscurity. Celts, Saxons, and Danes contested the general area, and it was not until 886 that London again emerged as an important town under the firm control of King Alfred , who rebuilt the defenses against the Danes and gave the city a government. London put up some resistance to William I in 1066, but he subsequently treated the city well. During his reign the White Tower, the nucleus of the Tower of London , was built just east of the city wall. Under the Normans and Plantagenets (see Great Britain The guilds of the Middle Ages gained control of civic affairs and grew sufficiently strong to restrict trade to freemen of the city. The guilds survive today in 80 livery companies , of which members were once the voters in London's municipal elections. Medieval London saw the foundation of the
