The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Great Britain is situated on the British Isles and is separated from the European continent by the North Sea, and the English Channel. The country has a mild and rainy climate. The population of Great Britain is more than 56 million people. It is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. The largest cities of Great Britain are London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Bristol, Leeds and Edinburgh. Great Britain is an industrialised country. Major industries include iron and steel engineering (including motor vehicles and aircraft), textiles, plastics, cotton, chemicals, electronics, wool, shipbuilding and food products. The chief agricultural products are wheat, barley, oats, potatoes, sugar beet, milk and meat. U. K. includes England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.

When the Gospel was first preached in Britain, the island was inhabited by Celtic peoples. In the 500's, pagan Germanic tribes, the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, invaded Britain and drove the Christian Celts out of what is now England into Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. The new arrivals (called collectively the Anglo-Saxons) were then converted by Celtic missionaries moving in from the one side and Roman missionaries moving in from the other. (They then sent missionaries of their own, such as Boniface , to their pagan relatives on the Continent.) In the 800's the cycle partly repeated itself, as the Christian Anglo-Saxons were invaded by the Danes, pagan raiders, who rapidly conquered the northeast portion of England. They seemed about to conquer the entire country and eliminate all resistance when they were turned back by Alfred, King of the West Saxons. In his later years, having secured a large degree of military security for his people, Alfred devoted his energies to repairing the damage that war had done to the cultural life of his people. He translated Boethius Consolations of Philosophy into Old English, and brought in scholars from Wales and the Continent with whose help various writings of

"Of Saxons, and of Angles and Jutes...": The Beginnings of English in England External History Once we move into a discussion of Old English, we are moving away from the more speculative (but systematic) endeavors of language reconstruction (Indo-European) into an area for which we do have more solid footingin the form of written documents. Stonehenge Before the Germanic settlers arrived in Britain and became the first speakers of "English," other peoples had claimed the island as their home. The first inhabitants for whom we have linguistic knowledge were the Celts, who arrived around the time of the Bronze Age (2000-500 B.C.). They were almost certainly the first speakers of an Indo-European language to arrive. In 55 B.C.E. Julius Caesar attempted an invasion of Britain, but he was not to succeed until the following year (54 B.C.E.). How successful he was, however, is perhaps suggested by the fact that the tribute Caesar demanded before returning to Gaul was never paid. In 43 C.E., the Emperor Claudius, with 40,000 men, was far more successful, although the Romans never penetrated far into Wales or Scotland. Hadrian's wall marks extent of the Roman Governor Agricola's rule northward. The lands south of the Wall were ruled by Romans for over 300 years. The Romans built roads, baths (such as those at Bath), temples, and introduced Christianity. By the end of the Roman occupation, the subjugated Celts had apparently lost the ability to defend themselves against the Picts and Scots from the north. When the legions withdrew in 410 C.E. to defend the diminishing Empire, the Celts began to look elsewhere for defensive aid.

English in Great Britain When the Roman legions left Britain, the native Britons were left to defend themselves. At this time, the Britons were less warlike than they had been prior to the Roman occupation. The Britons were exposed to the threat of attack from the Picts of caledonia to the north. The Roman patrolling of Hadrian's Wall had ceased. The southern and eastern coasts were also exposed since no Roman fleet patrolled the Channel and the North Sea. The Picts and Scots of Caledonia attacked the northern border. The Britons requested help from the Jutes, a Germanic tribe, to push the Picts and the Scots back. In return for their help, the Jutes were given the Isle of Thanet off the north-east coast of Kent. The English Conquest In 449 A.D., the Jutes, led by two brothers, Hengist and Horsa, landed at Ebbsfleet, off the coast of Kent. Not content with the Isle of Thanet, the Jutes spread all over Kent. The Britons defended the territory fiercely. The Jutish leader, Horsa, was killed at the Battle of Aylesford, but the Britons were eventually forced to draw back. Other Germanic tribes, the Saxons and the Angles, followed the Jutes.

Apologies for this.) Ethnicity: The Peoples of Europe This seminar will not only enable us to get to grips with the political and cultural geography of Europe in the period we are studying this term, but will introduce us to one of the more long-lasting historical debates of the period. The sources are full of the names of peoples — ethnoi or gentes — and the movement of peoples is so much a part of the period that the first two centuries of the early Middle Ages are often known as the Migration Period ( or VWZ). Historians and archaeologists have, in recent years, given a lot of thought to the question of the origins of these early medieval peoples: to the process of "ethnogenesis", as they call it. How did "the Franks" emerge as a named people? What did it mean to be a "Frank" or a "Jute"? How did people at the time conceive of these ethnic groups, and how misleading is this to the historian today? What are the implications for archaeology? What are the implications for political history? (Here is where this question relates closely to the following seminar: kings in the early Middle Ages were almost invariably kings of peoples , not territories.)

He translated Boethius's Consolations of Philosophy into Old English, and brought in scholars from Wales and the Continent with whose help various writings of Bede, Augustine of Canterbury, and Gregory the Great were likewise translated. He was much impressed by the provisions in the Law of Moses for the protection of the rights of ordinary citizens, and gave order that similar provisions should be made part of English law. He promoted the education of the parish clergy. In one of his treatises, he wrote:

Regardless of its origin, it is the preferred term when speaking of the ancient pagan religion of the Saxons, Jutes, Angles, Frisians, Varni, and other Germanic invaders of what is now England. Together, these tribes once in England are known as the Anglo-Saxons, although no such unity was known until well after their conversion. The first mention of a Germanic tribe is crica 230 BCE when the Basternae migrated to the Black Sea, and came to the attention of Greek chroniclers. From 230 BCE, the Germanic tribes would come in increasing conflict with the Celts, Illyrians, and Romans, eventually swallowing up most of the Celtic and Illyrian territories in Central Europe. This was the beginnings of the Migration Era which lasted from about 375 BCE to 550 CE (although the Viking expeditions should be counted as a part of this as well), an era when nearly every Germanic tribe was actively on the move. Over population and a need for new farm lands sent the Germanic tribes in search of new lands. The invasion of Great Britain by the Angles, Jutes, Saxons, Frisians, and other Germanic tribes were amongst the last of the Great Migration. In the fifth century, an exodus of tribes took place to Great Britain. The Angles invaded Britain from the area of Schleswig-Holstein, and are mentioned by Tacitus in his writing

THE HISTORY OF GREAT BRITAIN There are few events in history of Great Britain that have not left their mark to this day. Thus, the Gaelic - language of Celtic tribes, that invanded the island in 6th century before Christ is still spoken in the northwest of country. In the first century A.D. began the occupation of the Romans but it was of no consequences though they built towns, roads, centralized administration and there are still some place-names e.g. Lincoln and ruins of Roman buildings all over the country. In early 5th century the Roman army had to go home so they left British Isles. Then came there Germanic tribes of Angles, Saxons and Jutes and the Celtic had to refuge in the mountains. The Anglo- Saxons established a unified kingdom and a high level of culture. They astonished the Christianity. The Britons in Wales become trust in Christ and in 5th century St. Patrick had brought the Christianity faith to Ireland and from there it spreaded to Scotland. This period was also plagued by Viking raids. In l066 the Norman army lead by William the Conqueror invanded the country. William, the Duke of Normandy, became a king and the hegemony of Normands begun. The king owned all the land, granting estates to his barons. Only Henry II established law and order. He punished the rebelious Norman barons, he instituted royal courts, travelling judges and the jury system. His son was Richard I - Lionheart spent most of his time on crusades so the power had his brother John I and he ruled so badly that in l2l5 the barons and bishops forced him to sign a charter protecting their privileges. This MAGNA CHARTA was a cornerstone of British freedom. This document established a basis of supremancy of low over the king and laid the foundations for parliamentary goverment.
