This prelude to the series covers the 4,000 years that precede the Battle of Hastings. Ancient Briton was a thriving region. The Romans considered the region one of wealth and prestige, and many of the British chieftains were quick to adopt Roman ways and accept their rule; the province was defined with the building of Hadrian's Wall. When the Romans departed 400 years later, they left a dream of unity; Alfred accepted the challenge of forging a kingdom and repelling the Vikings from a kingdom, a kingdom eventually shattered by the Normans.

Language experts say that everyone speaks with an accent - even if you think that you speak the Queen's English. Inside Out goes in search of the definitive South East accent, and asks what makes our regional voice special. There's a perception that there's only one accent in the South East, a type of cockney estuary English. In reality language experts have discovered that there's many variations on accent and dialect across the region. There's as many different sounds from Tunbridge to Tonbridge and from Margate to the Medway. But the more that our language expert Dr David Hornsby from the University of Kent tried to uncover one distinctive sound, he was constantly surprised to find a much wider range of influences in our southern voices. "We've got northern English features slap bang in the middle of the South East."

The Norman and Plantagenet kings hold French territory during the period, and artists and objects travel between the two countries. Majestic cathedrals are erected from the end of the eleventh century; those at Durham (Fig. 1) , Canterbury, Ely, Wells (Fig. 4) , and Lincoln (Fig. 3) are among the most famous. By the end of the period, English embroideries are so renowned for their refinement that they are known throughout Europe as opus anglicanun Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, prince of Powys, gradually brings the rest of Wales under his control. By 1055 he rules it as a unified kingdom, but it will dissolve after his death. Despite sharing a common language, culture, and artistic tradition, the kingdoms of Wales remain fragmented until finally conquered by England. The Danish prince Canute (or Knut) conquers England in stages, expelling the Anglo-Saxon house of Wessex. In 1018, he claims the Danish throne when his brother dies and, through conquest, also gains control of Norway and Scotland. Despite a bloody beginning, Canute becomes a successful Christian monarch, enforcing old English laws and creating new ones. His military power protects the island from attack, and peace ensues. However, his sons are weaker men; after his death in 1035, the Danish empire rapidly disintegrates. Upon the death of Canute's last son in 1042, Edward ("the Confessor"), son of the Saxon king defeated by Canute, returns from Normandy and claims the throne.

Roman Anglo Saxon Viking Norman ... Railway Age A Brief History Of York Roman York Eboracum, the Roman name for the area now known as the City of York, was set up as a military camp in AD71, while conflict with a confederation of local Celtic tribes, the 'Brigantes' was fierce and bloody. After the Ninth Legion had subdued these troublesome barbarians the camp soon became a permanent fortress. Situated at the junction of the Rivers Ouse and Foss, the fortress enclosed over 50 acres and, at its height, held a force of some 6000 soldiers. In time a thriving civilian population grew up around the area and Eboracum became one of the leading cities in the Roman empire. Anglo Saxon York Around AD400 fighting in Gaul (France) put a great strain on Roman resources and the legions based in York were withdrawn to join the struggle. In the 5th century Germanic tribes of Anglo Saxons invaded Britain and overtook the city (despite a legendary recapture by King Arthur), renaming it Eoforwic, and making it the centre of the independent kingdom of Northumbria. During the 7th century, the Anglo Saxon warlord Edwin reintroduced Christianity to Northumbria and married a Christian princess from the South, she brought with her a priest called Paulinus who baptised Edwin and many of his subjects on Easter Day 627 in a small timber church. This modest building was the first cathedral of York Minster and Paulinus later became the city's first bishop.

This is a history of one of the largest pieces of disputed real estate in the world. Western Sahara is not a nation and never has been. It was formerly a Spanish colony. When Spain withdrew in 1975, Morocco promptly attempted to annex the area. To this day, the sovereignty of the Western Sahara remains the subject of a dispute between Morocco and the Polisario Front (Popular Front for the Liberation of the Saguia el Hamra and Rio de Oro). In 1991, a cease fire was agreed to with the understanding that their would be a referendum on the status of Western Sahara with a choice between annexation to Morocco or independence. The election was never held. In 2003, Morocco noted that it will no longer accept independence as one of the ballot options.

The Middle Ages (500-1500) Early History If you want to discover the history and culture of Western civilization by visiting a single place, Sicily is a perfect choice. Sicily's diversity is reflected in its architecture. You'll discover Greek temples and amphitheaters , Roman settlements, unique Norman-Arab churches and palaces (whose style is somewhat similar to Moorish but with Byzantine Greek elements), Byzantine (Orthodox) churches, Early Gothic churches, fortified medieval castles , Catalonian Gothic palaces, Baroque churches and mansions, and even a Chinese Revival villa built in the first years of the nineteenth century. (Please activate your JAVA to use these three links.) We've already described the prehistoric inhabitants of Sicily and their descendants, the Sicani and Siculi. With the arrival of the Greeks, these peoples were absorbed in every way into Hellenistic society. Usually dated from the foundation of Zancle (now Messina) in 756 BC, the incursion of the Greeks into the eastern part of the island marked a new phase in its social development. The newcomers founded Naxos, near Taormina, in 734 BC, and Catania in 729. Siracusa (Syracuse) was founded in 733 BC, Gela in 688 BC and Agrigento in 580 BC. In the three centuries following, Sicily and the southern part of the Italian peninsula would be completely colonized by Greeks, earning the region the name Magna Graecia (Greater Greece) because it boasted more Greeks (and probably more Greek temples) than Greece itself.

Siward was succeeded by Tostig, brother of Harold who became king in January 1066. Tostig was so unpopular in the region that he was forced into exile. He returned in September 1066 as part of a Norwegian invasion of Yorkshire, but his brother, now King Harold, defeated him and the Norwegians at the Battle of Stamford Bridge near York. Harold, though, had to immediately return south to deal with yet another invasion, this time from the Normans in Sussex. On October 14, 1066, he was killed at the Battle of Hastings and William the Conqueror became king.

You are in: Themes Swinnerton (1910) Physical map of Nottinghamshire Preface ... Geological map of Nottinghamshire 16. History of the County. Let us now turn to the history of man in Nottingham­shire. The hills, valleys, and rocks which make up the county have a history of their own. They are the stage upon which man has acted. For ages generation has been followed by generation, but the hills, streams, climate, and natural history, which have been dealt with in earlier chapters, have altered very little. The present generation is writing its history in books and papers. It is also making less perishable records in the form of railway lines, factories, and mines. This chapter is concerned only with the written history of past generations. The succeeding ones attempt to give body and life to that history by the contemplation of their handiwork. Newark Castle and the Great Cross Roads (The Fossway is seen to left of the picture, the Great North Road to right). Nottinghamshire with its extensive forests on the west and swamps on the north and east offered no great attrac­tions to the Romans. They had no stations of such importance as Lincoln and Leicester within the bounds of the future county. But it was traversed by the great road, the Fosseway, which joined these two places. This road, which enters the county near Collingham and leaves it near Willoughby on the Wolds, was the probable route by which the Angles invaded the county during the sixth century. A great battle was fought between the East Anglians and the Northumbnians in the year A.D. 617 on the Idle close to Retford.
