CULTURE:
The culture of England brings together, for example, historical
facts such as the Anglo-Saxon conquest of Celtic Great Britain; a
defeat of King Harald Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings in 1066
during the Norman Conquest; the Black Death that plagued
England in 1349 and killed possibly a third of the population; the
Wars of the Roses, which won Henry VII Tudor at the Battle of
Bosworth Field in 1485; and religious conflicts and civil war. It also
includes current costumes and references to costumes from the
past, such as the wife sale and the five o'clock tea.
