what type of government did the early british nation have?

Answer 1

The Ancient Britons were ruled by tribal chiefs with the most important chiefs being called Kings. This ended with the Roman conquest. When the Romans left the country broke up into petty kingdoms with a strong Germanic culture ( although ethically the population did not change much, as recent research has shown) Gradually these petty kingdoms were united by the rulers of Wessex - a process that the Viking invasions accelerated. After the Viking threat receded an Anglo Saxon Kingdom of England emerged. In 1066 this Kingdom was conquered by the Normans, whose descendants went on the seize Wales. Scotland coalesced into a Kingdom much more slowly, and only established a strong central monarchy under pressure of military threats from England. On the death of Queen Elizabeth the first in 1603 James VI of Scotland succeeded peacefully to the throne of England as James 1. Both countries continued under the same monarch despite the religious wars of the Seventeenth century during which the English conquered Ireland. This arrangement ended when the Scottish Parliament voted itself out of existence in 1707, and the combined nations of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales became know as the United Kingdom, or Great Britain. Scotland recently got its Parliament restored, and there is some pressure to revoke the Act of Union on grounds of nationalism. Many English like the idea, as a significant amount of English tax money goes north these days. Hope this helps.
