Most fans know all the royal names and faces, the line of succession to the throne, and even the family's rarely- used last name. But let's start from the beginning.

The name was changed from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the English Windsor (from "Windsor Castle"[1]) in 1917 because of anti-German sentiment in the British Empire during World War I.[2] There have been four British monarchs of the house of Windsor to date:...

British history Roman Britain Roman Britain was those parts of the island of Great Britain controlled by the Roman Empire between 43 and about 410. The Romans referred to their province as Britannia. Prior to the Roman invasion, Iron Age Britain already had cultural and economic links with Continental Europe, but the invaders introduced new developments in agriculture, urbanization, industry and architecture, leaving a legacy that is still apparent today. Historical records beyond the initial invasion are sparse, although many Roman historians mention the province in passing. Most of the knowledge of the period stems from archaeological investigations and especially epigraphic evidence. The invasion force in AD 43 was led by Aulus Plautius.It is not known how many Roman legions were sent; only one legion, the II Augusta, commanded by the future emperor Vespasian, ...

These two chapters highlight the kinds of commentary Swift makes throughout the novel. By describing a society that chooses its highest officials with silly competitions like seeing who can jump the highest on a tightrope, Swift is poking fun at the way officials are chosen in England. He is also commenting on the disturbing trend of politicians who are willing to do whatever it takes to gain favour in the courtincluding humiliating themselves. The danger of ambition is also figured here; jumping badly can lead to death. Having Gulliver stand with his legs apart so that the Lilliputian armies can walk through is also a ridiculous idea. It is a comment on the pomp and circumstance of English armies. To Swift it seems that armies are often more concerned with looking impressive than with being impressive. This scene might also be an allusion to the Colossus of Rhodes, described in Julius Caesar by Shakespeare as a largerthanlife ...

Britain History Pre-Norman Britain The Iberians brought their metal-working skills and the first real civilization to Britain in the third millennium B.C and were overrun by various Celtic invasions that began in the 8th century. The Celts introduced their tribal organization and an early form of agriculture before they were forced westward by the Roman invasion. Forms of Celtic language are still spoken in Britain. Romans (with Julius Caesar in the head of them) first tried to occupy Britain in 55 B.C., but there was a rebellion in Gaul so they had to leave to fight against it.

Inglise kodusõda Inglise kodusõda on koondnimetus konfliktidele, mis leidsid rojalistide ja Inglise parlamendi vahel aset aastatel 16421651 peamiselt Inglismaal, ent ulatusid ka Sotimaale, Iirimaale ja Walesi. Mõnikord peetakse Inglise kodusõja alguseks ka 1639. või 1640. aastat, mil kuningas Charles I-l tekkisid vastuolud sotlastega ja kutsuti kokku nn Pikk parlament. Kodusõja lõpuks on loetud ka 1649. aastat, kui Charles I hukati või 1652. aastat, mil Oliver Cromwell vallutas Iirimaa ning viimased rojalistid Sotimaal alistusid. Viimasel ajal jagatakse Inglise kodusõda tihti kolmeks eraldi sõjaks või vähemalt etapiks: esimene (16421646) ja teine (1647/16481649) toimusid kuningas Charles I ja parlamendi vahel ning kolmas (16491651/1652) Charles II toetajate ja parlamendi vahel. Paralleelselt toimusid sisesõjad ning rahutused ka Iirimaal (16411652, nn Kaheteistaastane sõda) ja Sotimaal (Esimen...
