"10. Over the map of Great Britain, chapters from British history,
The Commonwealth of nations

I will talk about the most important dates and issues of British history, because British history is huge and it is not really easy to sum it up in 15 minutes…

First of all I would mention that from the beginning there was the fight between a monarch and the people. Monarch had an absolute power. Over the time, people became more and more powerful → encounter of power between parliament and people. There were some documents limiting absolute power of a monarch.

Most important years:

• 1066: The battle of Hastings
At 1065 the English king, Edward the Confessor, died. He didn't have children. There were three men who claimed the throne of England: Harold Godwin (the Earl of Wessex), William (the Duke of Normandy) and Harald Hardraada (the King of Norway)
– Harold Godwin was the most important of Anglo-Saxon lords. Edward had been a weak king and Harold had been the real ruler of England for many years. When Edward died at the end of 1065, Harold was crowned king.
– Duke William was Edward's cousin. Edward had grown up in Normandy and he had promised William throne. When the news reached William, he was very angry. He was tall and strong and he was a famous soldier.
– Harald Hardraada was the King of Norway, he was taller, giant, almost seven feet tall.. His ancestors had been kings of England before Edward and now he wanted the throne for himself.
– The first challenge to King Harold Godwin came from the north. In 1066 at the end of the summer, Harald Hardraada landed in north-eastern England Godwin marched north with his army.
– The Anglo-Saxon and Norwegian armies met near the city of York at Stamford Bridge. Before the battle, Hardraada asked King Harold: “How much of England will you give me?”, “Seven feet”, Godwin replied, “enough for your grave”.
– And that was all that Hardraada received. By the end of the day he was dead and the Norwegian army had been destroyed. But, while Harold and his soldiers were resting after the battle, news arrived from London: Duke William had landed on the south coast near the town of Hastings.
– William stayed near Hastings and waited for Harold Godwin. The English king returned to London, collected a new army and marched to Hastings. They stopped on a hill and the battle began. The Anglo-Saxons fought on foot, but the Normans were on horses.
– The Normans attacked but the Anglo-Saxon soldiers were safe on the top of the hill. They pushed the Normans back. Then the Normans pretended to run a way. Some of the Anglo-Saxons chased them down the hill. But the Norman knights turned round and killed them."
