1 Britain through the Ages

2 The Romans in England 43BC till 410AD Romans The Roman Empire was the largest Empire in the world at this time with most of Europe under the control of Rome. Rome itself was a vast city with nearly a million people living there. They did not have Kings or Queens but were led by an Emperor whose word was law in all the Roman Empire. Romans in England In 43AD the Romans invaded Britain and Britain became a full part of the Roman Empire under Emperor Claudius. Many tribes tried to resist the Romans but the Romans eventually defeated them all. The most famous were the Iceni led by Boudicca (her picture was on some of our coins. The image of Britannia on the 50p may be her). Hadrian s Wall In 122 AD Emperor Hadrian wanted peace within the Empire. Within England the constant fight with the Wild Scottish tribes was a huge issue. The solution that the Empire came up with was to build a wall between the two countries. This wall was known as Hadrian s Wall. It was 73 miles long and took nearly six years to build. Parts of the wall still stand today. What the Romans brought to England Hypocaust central heating The Roman Empire vastly improved England in a number of ways. They gave us: Central Heating (examples of this can be found in Chester Deva) Straight Roads (Watling Street, Fosse Way) Soap and baths Language (some of the words we use today come from Latin word that were used at this time) Law and the legal system Concrete Leaving England The Romans stayed in England for nearly four hundred years. But by 410 AD they were gone. Rome was under attack and more soldiers were needed at home to fight. As the Romans withdrew from England the Anglo-Saxons began to migrate into England.

3 The Anglo-Saxon Age 410 AD 1066 AD When the Roman army left there was no strong army left within Britain. Tribes know as Angles, Saxons and Jutes (the Anglo-Saxons) invaded. These tribes came from Northern Germany, Denmark and Northern Holland. They came to Britain by sailing across the North Sea in longboats. They ruled most of Britain but never conquered: Cornwall, South West Wales and the North of Scotland. Why did they come? The Anglo-Saxons came to Britain to take advantage of the vast countryside and to farm it. Where they originally lived was not the best land for farming and often flooded. So when the Romans left they began to invade Britain. Religious Beliefs The Romans had brought Christianity to Britain, but the Anglo-Saxons were Pagans. They believed in many Gods.. Here are some examples of their Gods: Thor, God of Thunder; Frige, Goddess of Love; and Tiw, God of War. This has given us Thursday, Friday and Tuesday Alfred the Great and the Vikings The most famous King at this time was Alfred. He is referred to as 'Great' as he defeated a Viking invasion of Britain against the odds, in the Battle of Eddington Edward the Confessor is another famous King. His death led to one of the most important events of the time that brought an end to Anglo-Saxon rule over Britain. Harold Godwinson became King although many did not agree with this. Who should be king? Harold Godwin, son of the most powerful Nobleman in England at the time. He had been chosen to be the successor by the King's Council prior to Edward's death. He became King the day after Edward the Confessor died making him King Harold II. William Duke of Normandy was Edward s distant cousin and claimed both Harold and Edward had promised him the throne. It is also said that Harold had sworn an oath to him, swearing help him become the next King. Harold Hardrada, was the Viking king of Norway and a distant relation to the Kings of England. He was a greatly feared man. Just his name brought fear to the heart of people. Hastings 1066 William decided he had a valid claim to the throne of England and began an invasion, ending in the Battle of Hastings in Harold s troops had the high ground and the fighting was long and hard. At one point William s troops pretended to flee and Harold s army chased them. However, it was a trick and when Harold s men left the high ground, William s troops attacked quickly, killing many men. It ended with the death of King Harold II who was supposedly shot in the eye with an arrow.

4 Medieval Britain William defeated the English army in 1066 by killing King Harold II. William did not march straight to London as he was unsure how the Nobles would react to his victory. He first took Canterbury and Dover Castle. Then he marched to London, burning and killing as he went. By the time William reached London in December, the nobles had little choice but to accept him as king and he was crowned on Christmas Day Keeping control The Feudal System When William had conquered England he had promised his supporters land, he also wanted to reduce the amount of land the English nobles had as it gave them too much power. So the Feudal System was brought in. It worked like this: The King owned all the land and would give it to barons and other nobles in return for them providing him with soldiers when they were needed. Tenants-in-chief (barons and nobles) got their land from the King but gave some to knights in return for them swearing to fight for the King. The knights were called under-tenants. Under-tenants (knights) were good fighters they agreed to the Tenant-in-chief s request and got land in return. They in turn let peasants live and work on the land. Peasants worked and lived on the land for the under-tenant. The Feudal System worked well and allowed the King to keep control. Castles William and his followers had taken England by force, so many people hated them and would have killed them given the chance. Therefore, William and his followers used castles to keep them safe. Motte and Bailey Castles were the first castles that were built. These were built on a large mound of earth (the motte) with a wooden tower built on top. Next to this was a bailey which was a large yard. This is where the soldiers would normally live to defend against attacks. However these castles had their weaknesses, one being that they were made of wood and could be burnt down easily. In the coming years stone Square Keep Castles were built. These castles were strong with 4 metre thick walls which meant that they were very difficult to knock or burn down. They were also more comfortable to live in and had a variety of different rooms. Magna Carta King John became King in He was not thought of as a very good King. He felt that as King he had the right to do whatever he wanted including throwing people in prison so that he could take their land. The nobles of England were not happy about this. King John signing the Magna Carta What they did to change this: The Nobles and members of the church drew up a document known as the Magna Carta. They were unhappy that they could be imprisoned without a trial, so they threatened to rebel so this forced King John to sign the Magna Carta. This document stated that the King would have to follow the law just like everyone else. The main terms of the Magna Carta was the right of every free man to be tried by a jury of his peers. This document was extremely important. Many people see it as the first step to Britain being ruled by Parliament.

5 The Tudors The War of the Roses was a war between two rival families who both wanted to rule England; the House of Lancaster and the House of York. The final battle of the Civil War took place in 1485 and is known as the Battle of Bosworth. The two armies were led by King Richard III, (York) and Henry Tudor (Lancaster). King Richard was killed during the battle and Henry Tudor became King Henry VII, the first Tudor King. He then joined the two houses together, ending the Civil War for good. He married Princess Elizabeth from the House of York. Henry VII Henry VIII Henry VIII ruled England and Wales from 1509 till One of the things that Henry is famous is his six wives and what happened to them: The Wives: Catherine of Aragon Married 11 June One child Mary (later know as Bloody Mary). DIVORCED. Leading to the creation of the Church of England. Ann Boleyn Married January One child Elizabeth (who later became Queen Elizabeth I). BEHEADED for being unfaithful. Jane Seymour Married 20 th May 1537 (the day after Ann Boleyn was beheaded) One son Edward (later became King Edward VI). DIED in childbirth. Ann of Cleves Married No Children. DIVORCED. He thought she looked like a Flanders Mare. Katherine Howard Married July No children. BEHEADED for being unfaithful. Catherine Parr Married No children. SURVIVED.

6 After Henry VIII s death. After Henry VIII died his son Edward VI, aged just nine became King. Edward had always been a sickly child and died in April 1552 aged just 15. Mary now became Queen. Her rule as Queen was a violent one. As a devoted Catholic, Mary could not support the Church of England and fought to bring Catholicism back. Mary died on 17 th November Now her sister Elizabeth became Queen aged just 25. She believed strongly in the Church of England. Her rule as Queen became known as The Golden Age of England. Elizabeth I She never married. She had no children. England became a very rich country under her rule. William Shakespeare s plays were very much enjoyed by the Queen and a number were performed at the Royal Court for her. The Spanish Armada Background: Catholic Spain and Protestant England were rivals. King Phillip 11 of Spain wanted England to be Catholic again so he tried to invade the country by sea. The Armada Phillip II, sailed from Spain in 1588 with around 130 ships. It was the biggest Naval fleet of the time. They came to take the throne of England. Sir Francis Drake, led the English fleet. Although Phillip s fleet was very large and impressive it failed to conquer England. Sir Francis Drake destroyed many Spanish ships, but this is not the main reason for the Spanish failure. Phillip was defeated by bad weather which blew his ships off course and bad luck. Many of his men died of disease on the ships.

7 The Stuarts In 1603 Queen Elizabeth I died, childless. As she was unwilling to name a successor, her cousin Mary Queen of Scots son became King. He was already King James VI of Scotland and now became King James I of England. This united England and Scotland. At this time England was ruled not only by a King but also by Parliament, though the King technically still had ultimate power. The Gunpowder Plot November 1605 King James Catholics of England were happy when James I took the throne thinking things would finally get better for them. This was not the case and James I ordered all Catholic Priests to leave England. Many Catholics became angry. Their plot was intended to kill James I and all the members of Parliament when he opened it on 5 th November They would then put his daughter Elizabeth on the throne and bring Catholicism back. Guy Fawkes was a gunpowder expert who was found laying the explosives but he was discovered and under torture he named the other conspirators. Charles I ( ) After his father's death, Charles I became King. A famous saying about Charles was 'that so good a man should be bad King.' This gives you an idea what Charles I was like. He wanted to run the country without Parliament and many were not happy about this. This led to Civil War The war was between Cavaliers, otherwise know as Royalists and Roundheads, otherwise know as Parliamentarians. Two of the main leaders were Oliver Cromwell and Sir Thomas Fairfax. Charles 1 Oliver Cromwell Charles was executed on January 30th, 1649 and was the first British King ever to be executed by his own people. Oliver Cromwell, became Lord Protector of Britain from 1649 till his death in Britain was now a Republic. Cromwell, was a Puritan and tried to force his strict views on England because he hated Catholicism. When Cromwell died, his son Richard took over but he was not up to the job. In 1660 Charles II, (Charles I son) was asked to return as King of England. This is known as the Restoration (the return of Other things that happened: The Plague the Bubonic Plague hit England again. In London alone 100,000 people died. This was a horrid disease. Your skin would turn black in patches and 'buboes' would appear on your body, followed by vomiting, swollen tongue and headaches. It was a truly horrific way to die. (Ring a ring of roses, a pocketful of posies, Atishoo, Atishoo we all fall down. This nursery rhyme is about the plague symptoms). The Great Fire of London The fire started on the 1 st September 1666 in the bakery of King Charles II s personal Baker, Thomas Farriner in Pudding Lane. He hadn't put out the fire in his oven properly before leaving for the night. A city made of wood London was largely made of wood and this fire destroyed most of the city. Over 13,000 houses and 87 churches burnt to the ground. About 100,000 people were made homeless, but only 6 people were killed.

8 The Victorian Era Queen Victoria ruled Britain for 64 years from the age of 18. At 21, Victoria married her cousin, Albert of Saxe- Coburg Gotha, a German Prince. Victoria, had 9 children, 40 grand-children and 37 great-grandchildren. One of the great events of Victoria s reign was The Great Exhibition. This was held in Hyde Park in a specially constructed Crystal Palace. This was built in 10 days and contained 13, 000 exhibits and was visited by 6.2 million visitors. Among the 13,000 exhibits from around the world were the Jacquard Loom (which used punched cards), an envelope making machine, tools, kitchen appliances, steel-making displays and a reaping machine from the United States. The Empire Queen Victoria is renowned for wearing black; the reason for this was the death of her husband Prince Albert who died in 1861 age just 42. Victoria dearly loved him and mourned his death for many years. During Victoria s reign Britain became the biggest and most powerful Empire in the world, ruling a quarter of the world. Here are a few examples of some of the countries ruled by Queen Victoria and her vast empire: New Zealand, Canada, India, Australia, Hong Kong, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Egypt, parts of the Middle East and many Caribbean Islands. Having so many Colonies made Britain rich, and this meant that the country grew along with its towns and cities. The population of Britain doubled during Victoria s reign, from 16 million to 37 million.

9 Slavery and the Empire Though Slavery was abolished in 1833 throughout the Empire, it played a key role in helping to build British wealth. One of the main reasons that the British Empire was so large and rich was due to slavery. Millions of slaves were taken from their homes in Africa and forced into slavery. This was know as the Triangular Trade. The triangular trade 3) Raw goods such as cotton, tobacco and sugar taken back to Europe. 1) Manufactured goods would be taken to Africa in order to trade for slaves. 2) Slaves were taken from Africa to America to work on plantations or were sold in return for other goods.

10 The Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution took place during the 18 th and 19 th Century and brought about major changes in the way people lived and worked. People moved from small villages to towns and cities for work. Many towns built due to the Industrial Revolution are still major cities today, one good example of this would be Manchester. Four key things helped the revolution take place: COAL, TEXTILES, IRON and STEEL Coal was used more to power the new factories and the steam trains Steel and Iron - New methods were found to make both these materials cheaper and quicker. This led to the building of many factories and lots of machinery, Flying shuttles Textiles were one of the most important industries at this time. New inventions were made that allowed the production of textiles to be much quicker. Cotton was now a vital part of the British economy and counted for 33% of the exports (goods Britain sold to other countries). During this period there were many inventions which helped items to be produced more quickly and easily. The Flying Shuttle, a hand loom to speed up weaving. This was followed by the Spinning Jenny which could spin lots of yarn. Many of these were put into outworkers homes. Transport Roads: Goods were transported on packhorses, horse and carts. However, the roads were in bad condition. During the Industrial Revolution the standard of roads improved and journey times dropped. Canals: Were used to transport heavy goods; it was faster than road and new canal links were built, allowing better access to many areas of the country. Trains: In 1803, Richard Trevithick built the first locomotive (train). The Rocket However, this one locomotive led to more being built by people such as Robert Stevenson. Trains could haul carts along the rails. It allowed heavy goods such as coal to be moved faster than before and over a much greater distance.

11 The First World War World War 1 is also called the Great War or War to end all wars. It began in summer 1914 after the assassination of an Austrian prince Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 by a group of terrorists who called themselves the Black Hand. The Austrians were furious and blamed a neighbouring country, Serbia, because the terrorists were Serbian. Archduke Franz Ferdinand Within weeks of the assassination most European countries had taken sides, either supporting Austria- Hungary or Serbia and war had begun. Britain, France, Russia and Serbia faced Germany, Austria-Hungary and Turkey. But the real reasons for war went deeper. There were four main LONG TERM CAUSES. The death of Franz Ferdinand provided the perfect excuse. MILITARISM some European countries were competing to have the largest army and navy ALLIANCES to protect themselves, European countries formed groups. EMPIRES Britain and France had big empires and Germany was jealous. NATIONALISM Germany was growing very wealthy and became a rival of Britain. Russia and Austria-Hungary both wanted the same land to become part of their empire. War in Britain When war was declared in Britain there were parties in the streets and mass celebrations. Many believed the war would be short lived and that it would be over by Christmas. Hundred of thousands of men signed up to fight, many never returned home alive. This was a new type of war. Battles were fought using machine guns, poison gas, tanks and aeroplanes. Soldiers hid in mud trenches. The Battle of the Somme The Battle of the Somme started in July 1 st It lasted until November It is one of the most infamous battles of WW1 due to the high level of deaths involved. 60,000 British soldiers fell on the first day and British casualties here were around 420,000, with 300,000 British troops recorded as dead. Flanders field where so many British soldiers died in the mud, is now covered with poppies which are the symbol that we still wear today to remember those who lost their lives. End of the War War ended in Britain in 1918, on the 11th hour, of the 11th day of the 11th month. This is know as Armistice Day. Britain and her allies had won the First World War though at a great loss to all involved and killing millions of people.

12 The Second World War On the 3 rd September 1939, Neville Chamberlain announced that Britain was at War with Germany. Yet again Britain, and its ally France, found themselves in Total War. A quick bit of background: By 1932, the Nazi Party was the largest political party in Germany with Adolf Hitler as its leader. In 1933 Hitler became Chancellor and had total power over Germany. In 1939 the Nazis invaded Poland. As a result Britain and France declared war. Life in Britain During Wartime This was not the first time Britain had been involved in war, and this time things were put into place more quickly. Every man, woman and child had to carry a gas mask with them at all times. This was due to the fear of Mustard Gas attacks. Conscription into the military services was introduced in April 1939, prior to the war starting as they knew they would not have enough men to fight a war with Germany. Rationing began in Sugar, butter, bacon and sweets were all rationed. By 1943 clothing, soap and petrol were also rationed. This lasted until 1953, nearly eight years after the war ended. People where encouraged to dig for victory and grow their own vegetables. By 1943 there were 1.4 million allotments in Britain. The Blitz was a series of bombing raids carried out on Britain from September The worst hit place was London. 13,000 people died in 1940 and by the 1941 that number had reached 43,000. Evacuation from major cities to the countryside involved 1.4 million women and children. On 10 th May 1940, Winston Churchill became Prime Minister. It is said that his leadership skills and determination to never give up were key to winning the war. The role of women during wartime Women played a key role in WWII. The government had been slow to get them involved in work and after the war they were forced out of the jobs and back into the home. Although many women answered the call to work of their own free will, conscription to the Armed Forces for women aged was introduced in Where did women work during wartime? Royal Ordnance factories Land Army Civil Defence Aircraft factories Organising the evacuations British railway WAF (Women Air Force) and other military organisations Women were extremely important and they played a huge part in the victory. Without the women working in the factories, the men away at war would not have had what they needed to achieve victory. War ended on the 7 th May 1945, when the German troops surrendered. Britain, with its allies France and Russia, had defeated Germany. This marked the end of the second Great War of the century and people now looked forward to what they hoped would be a better future.

13 After the War Setting up the Welfare State After the War had ended Britain was a different country. Millions of people had lost their loved ones and their homes. In 1941 William Beveridge had written the Beveridge Report. This report set out a plan to get rid of poverty and to make Britain a fairer country, What Beveridge wanted to do: Beveridge wanted to rid Britain of the five evils : Want (poverty) Disease Ignorance (lack of education) Squalor (poor housing) Idleness (unemployment) He felt that the setting up of a Welfare State would achieve this and that it would give Cradle to the Grave care for everyone. After the War, the Labour Party came to power making huge changes. They brought in many of the ideas Beveridge suggested including: The NHS Better schools New housing National Insurance (to help pay for the changes) Many of the ideas that were put in place at this time are still in place today, and slowly Britain rebuilt herself after war.
