The United Kingdom of Great Britain The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. All these parts of the country are represented in Parliament in London. England is noted for its "high-tech" and car industries. Scotland is a land of mountains, lakes and romantic castles. Wales is famous for its high mountains and pretty valleys, factories and coal mines, music and myths. Northern Island, with farming land, is beautiful too. The UK lies on the British Isles. The English Channel and the Strait of Dover separate Britain from the continent. The climate on the British Isles is temperate. The Gulf Stream makes the climate warmer in winter and cooler in summer. There is much humidity in the air of England. Britain is known as a foggy country. Geographically Great Britain is divided into Lowlands, Midlands, and Highlands. The history of the UK dates back to the ancient times. From the sixth to the third centuries BC, the British Isles were invaded by Celtic tribes. They came from central Europe, and settled in southern England. The Celts were pagans. Their priests, known as Druids, had all education in their hands. They administered justice, and made a disobedient layman an outlaw. In AD 43, the Romans invaded southern Britain. It became a Roman colony called Britannia. The Romans set up their capital in London and built such cities as Bath, Chester and York. The Roman invasion was not peaceful. In AD 60, the Iceni, a tribe led by Queen Boadicea, destroyed three cities, including London. In AD 122, Emperor Hadrian built a long wall to defend the border between England and Scotland. In the fourth century the Roman Empire was collapsing and the Roman legions left Britain.

43. Letter #18 THE CELTIC CHURCH GOES UNDERGROUND. In great britain, primitive Christianity hadvery early taken root. These tribes were the angles, saxons, and jutes. http://www.childrenofyahweh.com/Teaching Letters/letter_18.htm

A MONTHLY TEACHING LETTER Letter #18 This is the eighteenth in a series of teaching letters. With the last lesson, I concluded the study appertaining to Emperor Constantine the Great. I have been dissecting, examining and analyzing his story since the end of Watchman’s Teaching Letter #15. My method of approaching a subject is to cut it up into many small pieces, and examine it from every possible angle. Starting with lesson #13, April, 1999, I began a continuing study on the history of the British Celtic church inaugurated by Joseph of Arimathaea, being ordained by Philip the Apostle to do so. All the seventeen lessons, so far, since lesson #1, have concerned themselves with the topic of Judah in one way or another. Because the British are of the Zerah branch of Judah, this lesson is a continuation of the same subject matter. Emperor Constantine died in 337 A.D., and the next important historical element which detrimentally affected the history of the British Celtic church was the invasion of Britain by the various tribes of Saxons along with the Jutes. I would urge you to make copies of these lessons on the British church and give them to your uninformed friends, especially of Irish or Scottish descent. This is the history of their ancestors and their church! The Irish and Scots are of the same stock except they arrived in Britain at different times. The ancestors of the Irish arrived about 1600 B.C. and the Scots arrived 501 A.D., via Scythia and Spain. The emblem for both is the Red Hand. The only reason the Irish and Scots are mostly Roman Catholic today is because King Henry II, sold them out to Pope Adrian at the Synod of Cashel. If the Roman Catholic Irish and Scots (and Protestant, for that matter) ever learn their true history, that the Celtic church of Britain was the first true church outside of the one at Jerusalem (and never the Roman Catholic Church), hell would seem like a mild place to be

THE ANGLO-SAXON PEOPLE - PART 2 By L. Hollins This is the second part of an article taken from the book entitled, "Only One Road, " by the Hon. L.H. Hollins. During the 1940's he was Minister for Public Instruction and Minister for Labour in Victoria. He was also author of the book "Democracy at the Crossroads. " In future issues of "Look Up" further extracts of "Only One Road" will be printed. This book is one of many examples that show a number of prominent people in the past had an understanding of the Identity Teaching. S HORTLY after the fall of the Babylonlian Empire, Cyrus, king of Persia, issued his famous decree which ended Judah's seventy-year captivity, and permitted the remnant of Judah, Benjamin and Levi to return to Palestine. In the year 534 BC, a miserable remnant, numbering fewer than fifty thousand, returned to build "the house of the Lord in Jerusalem." The great mass of the people, including most of the princes, had no desire to rebuild the temple, preferring rather te remain in Babylonia- where they were prospering. By contrast, the history of Israel after their dispersion to Media, and subsequent trek to Ar-sareth, is a closed book. We should not be surprised at this for two reasons. Firstly, when they were cast off (Hosea 1:9) they lost their proud name of Israel, because they were no longer ruling with God (or more correctly, "God rules" - Ed.) Almost immediately, thereafter, we find them using the name

Search Britannia BRITANNIA GATEWAYS History Travel British Life Shop Britannia Search for: Books Video Music Toys Tech Enter keywords: Part 4: The Anglo Saxon Period Commonly ascribed to the monk Gildas, the "De Excidio Britanniae" (the loss of Britain), was written about 540. As previously mentioned, it is not a good history, for it is most mere polemic. Closely followed by Bede, the account is the first to narrate what has traditionally been regarded as the story of the coming of the Saxons to Britain. Their success, regarded by Gildas as God's vengeance against the Britons for their sins, was a theme repeated by Bede isolated in his monastery in the north. We note, however, that Gildas made the statement that, in his own day, the Saxons were not warring against the Britons. We can be certain that the greater part of the pre-English inhabitants of England survived, and that a great proportion of present-day England is made up of their descendants. To answer the question how did the small number of invaders come to master the larger part of Britain? John Davies gives us part of the answer: the regions seized by the newcomers were mainly those that had been most thoroughly Romanized, regions where traditions of political and military self-help were at their weakest. Those who chafed at the administration of Rome could only have welcomed the arrival of the English in such areas as Kent and Sussex, in the southeast. Another compelling reason cited by Davies is the emergence in Britain of the great plague of the sixth century from Egypt that was particularly devastating to the Britons who had been in close contact with peoples of the Mediterranean. Be that as it may, the emergence of England as a nation did not begin as a result of a quick, decisive victory over the native Britons, but a result of hundreds of years of settlement and growth, more settlement and growth, sometimes peaceful, sometimes not. If it is pointed out that the native Celts were constantly warring among themselves, it should also be noted that so were the tribes we now collectively term the English, for different kingdoms developed in England that constantly sought domination through conquest. Even Bede could pick out half a dozen rulers able to impose some kind of authority upon their contemporaries.

Ungovernable, entirely at home at sea, they attack unexpectedly. When they are ready to sail home they drown or crucify one in ten of their victims as a sacrifice, "distributing the iniquity of death by the equity of lot".' Sidonius Appollinaris, landowner, poet and later bishop, writing about Saxon raiders in 470 AD (from The Anglo-Saxons by James Campbell) 'Anglo-Saxon' is used as a catch-all phrase to refer to the Germanic peoples who invaded and settled in England in large numbers during the fifth and sixth centuries AD. As well as the Angles (who came from the southern part of the Danish peninsula and eventually gave their name to England) and the Saxons (who came from the north German plain to the west), there were also Jutes From raiders to invaders The Romans used the term 'Saxon' to refer to all of the various tribes who inhabited the north German plain between the Elbe and the Weser and the south of what is now Denmark. These peoples had been raiding the coasts of eastern and southern Britain and northern Europe as far west as Spain since the third century AD. By the end of the fourth century, together with the Picts (from Scotland) and the Scots (from Ireland), they were menacing the frontiers of Roman Britain from all sides. The collapse of Roman authority in Britain in the early fifth century left the native Britons exposed to these enemies. Over the coming centuries, the raiders became invaders and settlers, conquering and transforming the country as they came.

Picts (northern Celts) from Scotland, Scots from Ireland (until AD1400 the word Scot meant and Irishman) and Saxons from Germany, all came to plunder the accumulated wealth of Roman Britain. The Roman legions began to withdraw from Britain in AD383 to secure the Empire's borders elsewhere in mainland Europe. By AD410 all Roman troops had been withdrawn, leaving the cities of Britain and the remaining Romano-British to fend for themselves. As the Romans departed, so did the source of any major written historical data. For the rest of the fifth century and early sixth century, England entered what is now referred to as a period of time known as the Dark Ages.

MARCH OF THE TITANS - A HISTORY OF THE WHITE RACE Chapter 28 : The Isle of Influence - England, Scotland, Wales and the United Kingdom Part I : Ancient Britain Even its most vehement detractors will admit that the nation of Great Britain has been one of the foremost countries of modern Western Civilization. Its achievements are legion - at one stage its empire existed on all the continents of the world except Antarctica. Its language became the second most widely spoken language on earth (after Chinese) - its writers, poets and playwrights were the greatest the world has ever seen since the days of the Greek classics - and its history and culture has become ingrained in the traditions of many people on earth. Britain was also directly responsible for the initial mass settlement of the North American continent that, together with immigrants from the rest of Europe, created the giant that became America. The industrial revolution, which it spearheaded, shaped the infrastructure of the current world. Yet it is a small island, barely over half the size of France. The history of this island of kings and queens is remarkable one and worthy of an overview. Unfortunately much of English history is also filled with incessant petty squabbling and infighting.

Anglo-Saxon England Fragmentary knowledge of England in the 5th and 6th centuries comes from the British writer Gildas (6th century), the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (q.v.; a history of the English people begun in the 9th century), saints' lives, poetry, archaeological findings, and place-name studies. In the absence of Roman administrators The dominant themes of the next two centuries were the success of Christianity and the political unification of England. Christianity came from two directions, Rome and Ireland. In 596 Pope Gregory I sent a group of missionaries under a monk named Augustine to Kent, where King Ethelbert had married Bertha (d. 612?), a Christian Frankish princess. Soon after, Ethelbert was baptized, Augustine became the first archbishop of Canterbury, and the southern kingdoms became Christian. In Northumbria the Christianity from Rome met Celtic Christianity, which had been brought from Ireland to Scotland by St. Columba and then to Northumbria by St. Aidan (d. 651), who founded the monastery of Lindisfarne in 635. Although not heretical, the Celtic church differed from Rome in the way the monks tonsured their heads, in its reckoning of the date of Easter, and, most important, in its organization, which reflected the clans of Ireland rather than the highly centralized Roman Empire. At the Synod of Whitby in 664, Northumbria's King Oswy (c. 612- 71) chose to go with Rome, giving England a common religion and a vivid example of unification. Theodore of Tarsus (602-90), who became arch-bishop of Canterbury in 668, created dioceses and gave the English church its basic structure.

The area covered by the Tarka Country has been subject to a number of traumatic Cultural and religious influences and an appreciation of these may help us understand the origins of many of the recorded Holy Well sites. This part of Britain was at the edge of Roman influence in these islands, it was greatly influenced by the traffic of early Christian travellers between Ireland, Wales and the European mainland in the 4th – 6 th centuries and it was conquered late by the Anglo-Saxons. The boundary between Devon and Cornwall was not fixed until the 10 th century and the isolation of the area meant that many old customs and traditions lingered here long after they had been forgotten elsewhere. The Celts who occupied this area at the time of Roman Britain (AD 43-410) had already been here for several hundred years when the Romans first arrived. A central feature of Celtic mythology was the cult of water worship. Water bubbling out of the ground at a spring is an elemental force; it is easy to see how such places could be thought of as a “portal” place between the everyday and the unknown worlds beyond human influence and time. Certain sites seem to have attracted the offering of gifts and acquired a reputation for healing or as oracles of future events and fortune. The spirit of these waters was often represented as a fish or eel ( this was not unique to Celtic folklore and similar traditions are found throughout Europe and also in some North American, Pacific and Indian cultures). The coming of the Romans changed Britain and influenced the peoples of Tarka Country. However, Roman society was primarily military and urban or based on large estates and it had limited impact in the countryside at this far edge of Roman Britain. Their administrative centre at Isca (Exeter) was distant and it seems likely that the Romans left local chiefs and society largely in control. Christianity came to Britain during the Roman occupation. While it is uncertain how this new religion reached beyond Exeter or survived after the withdrawal of Roman protection in AD 410, evidence from elsewhere suggests that much of Western Britain was influenced by a form of Christianity by AD 500.

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.)

Original Image In the extreme north of the empire too, there were problems. In the first half of the fifth century, the Romans withdrew from Britain, and the Anglo-Saxons came to dominate the land. Groups of Angles, Saxons, and Jutes crossed the North Sea and conquered large parts of the island, encroaching upon the native population. Gradually, the Cornish and the Welsh were nudged into the western and northern parts of the isles. The Germanic people were not the only ones exerting pressure on Britain, for the Picts and Scots were conducting constant raids at the same time. In place of the romanised Britons rose several Germanic kingdoms that maintained both independence and a loose spirit as a common group. These Germanic people had never been immersed in Roman culture, and so they were more interested in replacing Roman traditions, rather than retaining them (as Theodoric the Ostrogoth tried to do).

60. Regia Anglorum - The Saxons The evolution of Saxon and then AngloSaxon britain and the demise of the nations of Germany from the Old saxons, from the angles, from the jutes. http://www.regia.org/history/Saxon1.htm

Who Were the Anglo-Saxons? Two very richly furnished invaders The evolution of Saxon and then Anglo-Saxon Britain and the demise of the British peoples is almost all due to a fairly unknown leader of only half of the Roman empire called 'Honorius'. Which is by way of saying that it was nearly all his fault. '449 In this year Mauricius and Valentinian obtained the Kingdom and reigned seven years. In their days Hengest and Horsa, invited by Vortigern, King of the Britons, came to Britain at a place called Ebbsfleet at first to help the Britons, but later they fought against them. The king ordered them to fight against the Picts, and so they did and had victory wherever they came. They then sent to Angeln (i.e. Denmark); ordered them to send them more aid and to be told of the worthlessness of the Britons and of the excellence of the land. They sent them more aid. These men came from three nations of Germany: from the Old Saxons, from the Angles, from the Jutes. From the Jutes came the people of Kent and the people of the Isle of Wight, that is the race which now dwells in the Isle of Wight, and the race among the West Saxons which is still called the race of the Jutes. From the Old Saxons came the East Saxons and South Saxons and West Saxons. From Angel, which has stood waste ever since between the Jutes and the Saxons, came the East Angles, Middle Angles, Mercians and all the Northumbrians.' Oiscingas on the Kentish royal household. A British king who may have been called Vortigern employed Germanic mercenaries to aid him and his local militias in his battles against the Picts who in reality may have been just another tribe and yet another British sub king. This was not the first instance of Germanic settlers in this country, as it is known that Germanic troops had been stationed in this country by the Romans since at least the third century.
