Between the sixth and the third century BC, the British Isles were invaded by Celtic tribes who settled in southern England. They originally came from Central Europe. Their culture goes back to about 1200 BC. Between 500 and 250 BC, they were the most powerful 62 people north of the Alps. Originally they were pagan, with priests known as Druids. They later converted to Christianity. The Romans. In AD 43, the Romans invaded southern Britain. It became a Roman colony called Britannia. The Romans set up their capital in London and built major cities in Bath, Chester and York. The cities contained beautiful buildings, squares and public baths. Fine villas were built for Celtic aristocrats who accepted Roman rule. The Saxons, Jutes and Angles. From about AD 350, Germanic tribes began invading south-east England. The tribes came from what is now northern Germany, Holland and Denmark. The first to come were the Saxons, they were joined later by the Jutes and Angles. The Angles gave England its name. Britain had the protection of only a few Roman legions. The native people couldn’t stop the new enemy known as the Anglo-Saxons. The Celts fled north and west taking their ancient art and languages with them. Celtic languages have disappeared from most of Europe, but are still spoken in parts of Wales, Ireland and Scotland. The Vikings. About AD 790, the Vikings started to invade England. They came from Norway and mainly settled in Scotland and Ireland. The north and west of England were settled by the Danes. The Vikings were excellent trades and navigators. In 1016, England became part of the Scandinavian Empire under King Cnut. In 1066, England was again facing invasion from the north and the south. In September King Harold II marched north to defeat his half – brother , the king of Norway, at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Just three weeks later, he himself was defeated and killed at Hastings by another invader of Viking origin, William Duke of Normandy, from northern France. The Normans. The duke of Normandy, known as William the Conqueror, now became king of England, establishing a new Anglo – Norman state. England became a strong, centralized country under military rule. Castles appeared all over England to enforce the Norman rule. England has never been invaded since 1066. William was a harsh ruler: he destroyed many villages to make sure the English people did not rebel. The Norman’ power was absolute and the language of the new rulers, Norman – French, has had a lasting effect on English. EXERCISE 41. Change the sentences from active to passive.
