Affiliate area I am very pleased to have been given permission to publish this very good 12 part history of British Coinage, written by Ken Elks. It will be published weekly, every Saturday (Afternoon time GMT) and will include a wealth of information on all era's of British coinage from the first Celtic coins until decimalisation. Part 1, Celtic Coinage. 19th April 2003. Part 5, Tudor Coins. History During the whole of the medieval period the economy of England had been growing steadily. Gradually increasing trade with the Continent and the growth of towns led to a need for a more extensive coinage, which included the introduction of gold denominations. The prosperity of England was mainly based on agriculture and animal husbandry, accompanied by increasing industry, such as wool textiles, and commerce. This received a setback in the fourteenth century with the advent of the Black Death, which caused a sharp decline in the population to half of what it had been previously. More importantly it seemed to have a disproportionate effect on children and males in particular, with disastrous consequences for the economy. Nevertheless, by the beginning of the fifteenth century the abatement in the incidence of plague brought about a recovery. The residual effect was mainly in higher wages and price levels, which themselves stimulated the demand for money.

Through the years most countries have created military records, but not all of these have survived, and in many instances those that exist are not indexed, have not been filmed or digitized, and are not on the Web. Here's a look at the military records of various countries with tips on how to access them.

The War of Roses is a conflict between Yorkshire and Lancashire that has stretched back as far as the late 15th century. In football terms though, the tournament began when the Rugby League clubs in the two counties were part of the Rugby Football Union. The clash was considered the most prestigious and colorful inter-county clash and drew large audiences. When the Northern Union was formed, and the former Union clubs turned to become Rugby League clubs, the tournament also went to League. Since 1895 there have been 86 War of Roses clashes with both Lancashire and Yorkshire winning 42 times a piece. (two matches were drawn) The tournament had a breif death between 1989 and 2001 due to the success of Yorkshire in the 80's but has been recently re-introduced to as a method of improving the standard of British Rugby League to help the national side. As well as to add another major event to the annual League calendar.

Extractions: Post WWII The Wars of the Roses 1453 - 85 The Wars of the Roses were a contest between two branches of the Plantagenet royal family. Henry VI was the great-grandson of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and Edward III's third son; his rival, Richard, Duke of York, was the grandson of Edward's fourth son Edmund. However, Richard's mother Anne Mortimer was great-granddaughter to Edward's second son, Lionel, Duke of Clarence; in this respect Richard's claim to the throne was stronger than Henry VI's own. That said, Henry VI's claim to the throne was only disputed in 1460, five years after the first battle between Yorkists and Lancastrians. Henry VI acceded as a child and was frequently paralysed by depression; even as a functioning adult he was unworldly and weak-willed. The resulting power vacuum was filled by avaricious noblemen, to the detriment of government and the royal finances. Outside the court, noblemen built up private armies; a 'bastard feudalism' developed, in which service to one baron was the only protection against the others. These conditions both caused and permitted Richard of York's quarrel with Henry. Had Henry VI been competent, the Yorkist claim to the throne might never have been advanced - let alone that of Henry Tudor, the distant relation who eventually prevailed.

Extractions: Index an accomplished nobleman of the 16th century, was born in 1442. In consequence of his sister having married Edward IV. , he shared in all the vicissitudes which befell the king, and became governor of Calais and captain-general of the king's forces. He was also made governor of Prince Edward, and chief butler of England. On the death of the king the Earl assembled a body of troops, with the intention of crowning his nephew; but his design was defeated by the machinations of the Duke of Gloucester, afterwards Richard III. , who caused the gallant nobleman to be beheaded, without trial, in the castle of Pontefract, June, 1483. Return to Index the great minister of Charles I. , and Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, was of an ancient and wealthy Yorkshire family, and was born at London, in 1593. He studied at Cambridge, married in 1611, was knighted, and travelled on the continent. He was returned to parliament as member for Yorkshire in 1614, and the next year was named custus rotulorum for the West Riding. He sat in several parliaments for Yorkshire, and without going to extremes, took part with the opponents of the court. He was once made sheriff of Yorkshire that he might not be returned to parliament, and was afterwards imprisoned for refusing a forced loan. In 1628 his course was changed; he went over to the side of the king, and was created Baron Wentworth, then Viscount, lord President of the Council of the North, and in 1629 Privy-Councillor. As President of the North he exercised arbitrary power, and violated the Petition of Right; and his love of power still unsatisfied, he was made, by his own desire, Lord-Deputy of Ireland in July, 1633.

Boards Great Britain Introduction Planning a Trip Hotels ... Index From Murky Beginnings to the Roman Occupation Britain was probably split off from the continent of Europe some 8 millennia ago by continental drift and other natural forces. The early inhabitants, the Iberians, were later to be identified with stories of fairies, brownies, and "little people." These are the people whose ingenuity and enterprise are believed to have created Stonehenge, but despite that great and mysterious monument, little is known about them. They were replaced by the iron-wielding Celts, whose massive invasions around 500 B.C. drove the Iberians back to the Scottish Highlands and Welsh mountains, where some of their descendants still live today. In 54 B.C. Julius Caesar invaded England, but the Romans did not become established here until A.D. 43. They went as far as Caledonia (now Scotland), where they gave up, leaving that land to "the painted ones," or the warring Picts. The wall built by Emperor Hadrian across the north of England marked the northernmost reaches of the Roman Empire. During almost four centuries of occupation, the Romans built roads, villas, towns, walls, and fortresses; they farmed the land and introduced first their pagan religions then Christianity. Agriculture and trade flourished. In Wales the Romans built roads to outlying fortresses at Carmarthen, Llandovery, and other sites, but they stuck to the lowlands and did not set out to subdue the natives of this wild country who took to the hills and mountains. Some of the hill forts established by the Iron Age Celts were still the homes of their descendants, and some of these were very near Roman forts. Remains of many of the hill forts may be seen today.
