Boudicca Harold William Hadrian Alfred Caractacus Claudius b What did each person do? THE STORY OF ENGLAND ople have lived in the British Isles for thousands of years, but we don’ know ‘much about the first people there. About 6600 se the Celts arived from the area which is now Belgium. They gradually settled all over Britain and Ireland. They lived as different tribes swith their own kings and queens. ‘Inap 43, the Roman emperor Claudius sent an army to Britain. For almost the next 400 years, ‘most of Britain, oF Britannia as it was called, was ‘part of the Roman Empire. Some British leaders, like King Caractacus in the west and Queen Boudica in the east, tried to fight the Romans, but the Romans defeated them. However, the Romans never conquered the area which is now Scotland. The Roman emperor, Hadrian, built a ‘wall across the north of Britain. You can stil see paris of Hadrian’ Wall today. ‘In the 4th century ap, German tribes started to attack the Roman Empire and, asa result, the Romans left Britain in ap 410. Over the next hundred years tribes from north-western Europe Angles, Saxons and Jutes ~ invaded Britain. We call these people the Anglo-Saxons. They settled in the south-east of Britain and they pushed the Celts into the hills and mountains of the north and west. The Angles gave their name to a new country ~ ‘Angle-land’ or England, the questions. 1. Who were the first people to lve in Britain? 2 What did the Romans call Britain? 3. Why did the Romans leave? 4 What do these names mean? England East Anglia Sussex Normandy 5. What was the Norman Conquest? ‘Av first there were seven different kingdoms, for ‘example, East Anglia was the kingdom of the East ‘Angles and Sussex was the kingclom of the South ‘Saxons. They finally united under the frst king of England — Alfred the Great. ‘The English needed to unite, because new invaders ‘were attacking the country. These were the Vikings from Denmark and Norway. They started to attack England in the 8th century and they gradually ‘conquered the north-eastern part of England. In the end, Alfred defeated the Vikings and united the whole country: ‘The Vikings also attacked France. The French king gave them some land in the north. This became ‘Normandy ~ the land of the Northmen. In 1066, ‘Duke William of Normandy invaded England. He defeated the last Anglo-Saxon king, Harold, at the Battle of Hastings. William the Conqueror, a5 he is called, became King William I. The Norman Conquest of 1066 was the last successful invasion of England.

It was probably when people put some rocks roundaa fire and the fire melted the metal in the rocks. n fact, people had metal before that time. They already knew about gold and silver, but these were too soft for tools. On the other hand, copper shard enough and copper tools were much sharper than stone tools. Soon after people started using copper, they discovered that if you mix itwith a Ite tin, you get an even stronger alloy. We call this bronze. the Pyramids. However, there was a problem. although copper was quite common, tin was not, so bronze was always expensive.
