Answer 3

Theoretical England did not exist until after the Saxon invasion around AD450 before that it was a province of the Roman Empire before that just a collection of tribes.

Celts were first > Romans 49AD > Angles, Saxon, Jut es, Frisians (where the English language comes from) AD 450 on ; > Vikings, Danes 600 on; > Normans 1066.

The Celts were pushed into Cornwall, Wales (which means the land of the Foreigner, Ironic) and Scotland.

Explorers started around Henry VIII time.

Interesting people - loads:
Before Roman times - Boadicea
Roman times - One Emperor of Rome was born in England

Henry VII - started modern England
Henry VIII - started the Church of England

Answer 4

Helluva question!
1. Early natives - after the stone age proto-europeans, it's gotta be the Celts, because before them, who knows? Archaeologists - that's who!
2. Britain was explored and settled most famously by the Romans, who left their veneer of culture, and christianity, then, after the empire crumbled, germanic tribes like the angles and saxons, who pushed the romanized celts to the west and north (wales, cornwall, ireland, scotland). There were later waves of conquest from scandinavia (vikings, danes) and france (normans), leaving us with an odd hybrid latin/germanic language which most of the rest of the world seems to like making their own
3. Monty Python.
4.Others have mentioned the most famous ones, but don't forget the entire 19th century pre-raphaelite brotherhood, or england's best surrealist sculptor Henry Moore, or the guy who did the cover of the Sgt Peppers album - Peter Blake. And a host of others. England is an intensely artistic nation - go to the Tate Britain for confirmation of this.

Answer 5

There were aboriginal people before the Celts. The island was settled many thousands of years ago - the Celts only arrived in the Iron Age. It may be that the Picts were aboriginal (and they only died out in the 12th Century AD!)

Successive waves of explorers and settlers came from Europe.

I think Pytheas was the first to reach England from the Roman empire in the 4th century BCE (and may have circumnavigated the islands). Julius Caesar had an expedition here in the 1st century.

Most interesting people in England; Stephen Hawking, Anne Widdecombe, Stephen Fry, Liz White, Tony Benn, Chris Eubank, my Uncle Bill, Bez.

Famous artists Van Dyck, Turner (wonderful), Constable (boring), Banksie.

Answer 6

Ach so, Ich bin nicht ein Englander, aber...

1. Celts and Picts (or Iberian)
2. Angles, Saxons and Danes (Frisians or Vikings)
3. The most interesting person was: Alfred the Great, king of Wessex.
4. Caedmon, the first English poet; the abbess Hilda of Whitby; and Godgifu, or Lady Godiva - a true performance artist!

Answer 8

The first-known inhabitants of England were small bands of hunters, but Stone Age immigrants arrived around 4000 BC and farmed the chalk hills of Salisbury Plain, constructing the mysterious stone circles at Stonehenge and Avebury. They were followed by the Bronze Age Celts from Central Europe who began arriving in 800 BC, bringing the Gaelic and Brythonic languages (the former is still spoken in Scotland, the latter in Wales).

The Romans invaded in 43 AD and took only seven years to quell resistance and control most of England. The Scottish and Welsh tribes were more of a problem, resulting in the building of Hadrian's Wall across northern England to keep out the marauding Scots. The Romans brought stability, nice and straight paved roads and Christianity; in return, the Brits gave the Romans a headache and a dent in the empire's expense account. The Romans were never defeated, they just sort of faded away around 410 AD as their empire declined.

Tribes of heathen Angles, Jutes and Saxons began to move into the vacuum, absorbing the Celts, and local fiefdoms developed. By the 7th century, these fiefdoms had grown into a series of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms which had come to collectively think of themselves as English. By the mid-9th century, Vikings had invaded northern Scotland, Cumbria and Lancashire and the Danes were making inroads into eastern England. By 871, only Wessex - the half-Saxon, half-Celtic country south of the Thames - was under English control. At this low point, the English managed to neutralise the Vikings' military superiority and began a process of assimilation.

The next invader was William of Normandy (soon to become known as William the Conqueror), who arrived on the south coast of England in 1066 with a force of 12,000 men. After victory at the Battle of Hastings, he replaced English aristocrats with French-speaking Normans. The Normans built impressive castles, imposed a feudal system, administered a census and, once again, began to assimilate with the Saxons.
