the Witan quickly gave the throne to Edward one of Saxon Ethelred's son. After his death the next king was Harold from Wessex. He had no claims for the throne so the Duke William of Normandy claimed it to himself. Harold died in the battle of Hastings and the throne went to Wiliam. The Celtic kingdoms Wales By the eight century most of the Celts were driven to welsh peninsula. They were kept out of England by Offa's Dyke a wall built in 779AD The Welsh called themselves cymry. The cymry could only live in the valleys, because the other part of the land was too mountainous. Society was based on small family groupings which were ruled by a strong leader who later made themselves kings who also ruled the neighbouring family groupings. Life was hard and dangerous. Dying of old age was rare. Slavery was common. In 1039 Gruffydd Llewelyn was the first king powerful enough to rule the whole Wales. Ireland Ireland was never invaded by the Romans or the AngloSaxons
