Red Vision, based in Canal Street, has recreated some of the most important conflicts from the past for new BBC2 show Battlefield Britain. It used computerised graphic techniques developed for the Lord of the Rings trilogy to recreate eight battles which shaped Britain, including the Battle of Hastings, the Armada and the Battle of Britain. For the first time on television animators were able to accurately recreate events historically and geographically. Managing director David Mousley said: "This kind of technology has only ever been used in films before but we have been able to do it using the same techniques but at a fraction of the cost." Battlefield Britain is presented by veteran TV newsman Peter Snow and his historian son Dan and is one of the BBC's most ambitious shows in years. The Friday series started with a programme about Boudicca. Red Vision used computer effects to show her war against the Romans. Sophistication In forthcoming programmes the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of Culloden, and the Battle of Wales will be explored.

Clans Tartans History Travel ... Contact Us History Of The Scottish Nation Vol 3, Chapter David I and new age Europe; The Anglo-Saxon Line in England Alexander dying without issue, David, the youngest of the sons of Malcolm Canmore and Queen Margaret, ascended the throne (1124). The accession of David synchronises with a great epoch in the history of Europe. For some centuries the ecclesiastical authority had been slowly but steadily gaining upon the civil power, and undermining its foundations. Under the insidious working of the former, the sphere within which kings were to exercise their authority and nations their independence was continually narrowing, and all the while the spiritual was a constantly widening the limits of its jurisdiction, and boldly pushing its arrogant claims to absolute and supreme sovereignty. This great war had ended in the triumph of the mitre. It is not easy to take in all at once the dimensions of this revolution. It had turned the world upside down. For some centuries to come the church and not the empire was to be the ruler of the nations. Kings and emperors were to be subject to pontiffs and bishops. The "church" was to have full freedom to display what of power was in her for good or for evil. For this end a large measure of time, as well as power was accorded her. The struggled she had waged had brought her dominion, not for a few years, but for three centuries, and if her fitness to reign was at all what she pretended it to be, how great the happiness in store for the world! The church was to stand at the helm during the currency of these happy centuries. Laymen were to withdraw their unholy hands from the administration of affairs. They did so. Century after century the laity fell more and more into the background, while the ecclesiastical caste came to the front, and blossomed into power and wealth and grandeur and great dominion.

Cyclomundo Vacations>>> Cycling Resources Bicycle rentals Links Call 800-520-VELO Subscribe to our Newsletter enter your email: Normandy: Biking through History Author Hendrik Willem Van Loon once said, "History is man in quest of his daily bread." If true, mankind must view Normandy as one very large bakery. So many world-altering moments have taken place in Normandy that creating history could almost be viewed as an industry here. All of which makes it such a fascinating region for our bike tours. In Rouen, along the River Seine, the Place du Vieux-Marche designates where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake. Just north of Caen, lie the beaches of Normandy where the allied invasion poured forth durin g World War II. William the Conqueror also used these shores to set off for the Battle of Hastings. Artistic history is deep too. Mont-St-Michel towers upon an island of rock and enjoys superstar status as one of the greatest architectural achievements in all of Europe. The port village of Honfleur gave birth to Impressionism, and just outside of Giverny is where Monet derived inspiration for painting water lilies. Fortunately some of Normandy's residents realized that its combination of farmlands and coastline is not only good for making history but for making food too. Which, from our standpoint, is a great thing. Lobster, oysters, Camembert cheese, and Calvados brandy are just a few of its regional specialties that can turn a meal-dare we say-into being historic.

Pre 25,000 BC The discovery of the first stone arrowheads in Africa tends to indicate that the bow and arrow were invented there, maybe as early as 50,000 BC. It was probably developed in conjunction with the invention of the spear thrower. A short bow would be a better hunting weapon when used to stalk animals in wooded areas, rather than carry around long spears. The shape of the earliest bows can only be guessed at, as broken or worn out bows would probably end up on the cooking fire , reshaped into different tools or just thrown away.

E-ASPAC Decisive Battles: Parallels Between the Battles of the Kunlun Pass (China, 1054) and Hastings (England, 1066)" by Jeffrey Barlow (Ph.D.) Professor of History Pacific University, Forest Grove, Oregon Prepared for presentation at the annual meeting of Asian Studies on the Pacific Coast Whitman College, June 1998 Summary : In this paper I examine the battle at the Kunlun Pass, fought in China in 1054 between expanding Chinese power and a powerful local minority with a history of their own state, the Nung. I examine the battle in some detail and discuss its social and cultural context, based on Chinese sources. I then discuss the concept of "decisive battles" and conclude by arguing that the battle at the Kunlun pass deserves the label of "decisive" fully as much as does the battle of Hastings in 1066, with which I compare it.

Bibliography Introduction return to INDEX My interest in this topic began with an extended discussion that took place in late 1997 on the LISTSERV H-WAR, one of the many H-NET discussion lists. The discussion began with a message from Paul K. Davis on October 16, 1997 in which Mr. Davis proposed a discussion of the "Top 100 Battles." Mr. Davis began the discussion by suggesting his own list of "the top 100 most decisive battles of all time." This discussion ran into early December. More than thirty messages were exchanged "on list," and others, like myself, communicated with Mr. Davis in one-to-one exchanges off list.

Boards Great Britain Introduction Planning a Trip Hotels ... Index Early History 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.

The Line of Descent From King William, the Conqueror by Bill Diederich Post Office Box 7677 Incline Village, NV 89452-7677 Home Search Family Names Our Family Lineage How to Publish ... Links Every human being has ancestors, the number of which doubles with each preceding generation. Since there are approximately 30 years between generations, the number of ancestors grows rapidly as we go back in time. For example, if we could trace our ancestors back a thousand years in all lines, we would theoretically have 2,147,483,648 29 great-grandparents. This number is far in excess of the total world population of that time. Obviously, many ancestral lines stem ultimately from a relatively small group of people, and the lines cross and re-cross due to marriages between cousins. Our most famous ancestor in the early years of the current millennium was Duke William II of Normandy, who invaded England on Thursday 28 September 1066 and defeated King Harold at the Battle of Hastings two weeks later on Saturday 14 October. William the Conqueror was then crowned King William I of England. This article outlines the ancestry of William the Conqueror and describes the line of descent from him to us.

The Danish Conquest The Norman Conquest Anglo-Saxon Recovery, 1042-1066 Canute the Great had resided in England for most of his time. He supported the church and the christian mission in Scandinavia. His son Hardicanute nominally became King of Denmark and England, but ruled Denmark and left England to be ruled by his brother Harald Harefoot (1035-1040). After Harald's death, Harald again was King of England; he died in 1042, without a heir. Now EDWARD THE CONFESSOR was crowned King of England (1042-1066), the son of Aethelred II. the Unready, who had spent years in exile at the Court of the Dukes of Normandy. He was able to take advantage of the situation that SVEND ESTRIDSEN, the new King of Denmark, was busy consolidating his rule in Denmark. Edward the Confessor employed many Norman knights in his royal service, much to the dissatisfaction of the Anglosaxon nobility, foremost of GODWIN OF WESSEX. Edward the Confessor died childless in 1066, and the English crowned HAROLD GODWINSON, son of Godwin of Wessex, king. Now two foreign contenders made their claim on the throne of England : HARALD HARDRADA, King of Norway, claiming that Hardicanute and King Magnus of Norway had made a deal that in case either of them died childless, the other should inherit his realm. And DUKE WILLIAM OF NORMANDY, known in history as WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR, claimed that Edward the Confessor had named him as heir.

Department of History "The only thing new in this world is the History you don't know" ~ Harry S. Truman The Department Why choose A level History? History Courses at Greenhead Trips and Visits The Department The department of History consists of six qualified teachers, Dr Thomson, Mr Rowley, Mr Stanley, Dr Edwards and Mrs Walshaw teach History full-time, while Mr Brodie-Browne, the Assistant Principal, teaches part-time. There are about 200 students in each year group and all lessons are taught in one of four specialist classrooms. The History Department is a successful department with results well above the national average. There are two courses in British and European History, one Medieval and one Modern. Why choose A level History? The best reason for taking a history course is that the past fascinates you and you enjoy studying it. Studying History is fun. History combines the excitement of exploration and discovery with the sense of reward born of successfully confronting and making sense of complex and challenging problems. The purpose of historical inquiry is not simply to present facts but to search for an interpretation of the past. Historians attempt to find patterns and establish meaning through the study of evidence. One advantage of studying History is that it is a broad subject. Students can go on to university and then specialise in a range of subject areas, from the History of Art to transport history . History complements other subjects. It provides skills and understanding that will always be valuable in any career.

Home Page We shall probably never know when the first Christian service of worship took place at Boulton by Derby. What is known however is that this event happened a very long time ago. The present stone Church is of Norman origin and construction almost certainly began soon after William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, defeated the Saxon King Harold at the battle of Hastings in the year 1066. From this date Norman rule and culture was imposed on the people of England. It is possible that the Anglo-Saxon people of Boulton were of the Christian faith before the Norman invasion and they may have had a church here. If this were so, no remains are visible today. Saxon churches were usually constructed of wood and if a structure existed at Boulton, it would have been dismantled and the Norman stone church built in its place.

Your family seeks to become the vassals to Lord Whinesalot. As vassals you'll get land, protection, knights, power and wealth. In return you must provide the lord with loyalty, taxes, and soldiers when he is at war. The Task For Lord Whinesalot to choose your family as vassals you must first provide him with your family's portfolio which will include the following: a story about a heroic event from your family's history family coat of arms a design for your proposed castle a map of your fief (which you hope he'll grant you) a code of chivalry an oath of fealty The Process As a group, draft a family history on which future decisions can be based. Because religion played such a vital role in medieval life, be sure to address this in your family's history. Also include heroic events to depict family character.
