The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern ireland. Northwestern Europe Island, land on the island of Great Britain from England, Scotland, Welsh and the island of Ireland Northern Ireland 4 sections and numerous small islands. Her historical development can be divided into three historical periods.从8世纪末开始,以丹麦人为主体的斯堪的纳维亚人屡屡入侵英国。
为抗击丹麦人,威塞克斯王国国王埃格伯特(约802~839在位)于827年统一七国,建立统一的英格兰王国。
到9世纪末,丹麦人已在大不列颠岛上建立大片居留地。
879年,阿尔弗烈德大王和丹麦人订立条约,将英格兰东北部划归丹麦管辖,称为“丹麦区”。
10世纪初,阿尔弗烈德大王的后继者逐渐收复丹麦区。
11世纪初,丹麦人卷土重来,丹麦王克努特大帝成为全英之王(1016~1035在位)。
克努特之子死后,英国王位复归于英人爱德华(英国历史1042~1066在位)。
丹麦人占领期间,英国封建化过程加速。
由于战争频繁,税课繁苛,特别是沉重的“丹麦金”,使自由农民纷纷破产,沦为依附农。
国王以诏书的形式把土地册封给教俗贵族,成为封建领地。
930年,英王下令“(自由)人必有主”,农民为躲避战祸和捐税、求得安全,便将土地交给大地主,再领回耕种,表示自己受地主保护。

英国历史概况英国历史是一部征服与合并和的历史。
英国全称为大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国,由英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰组成,而整个英国的历史也就是由这四个区域的历史交织组成。
1535年威尔士成为英格兰王国的一部分,1707年苏格兰与英格兰正式合并为大不列颠王国,1800年大不列颠王国和爱尔兰合并成为大不列颠与爱尔兰联合王国,1922年爱尔兰共和国独立,爱尔兰北部仍留在联合王国内。
苏格兰历史简介苏格兰位于大不列颠岛北部,英格兰之北。
苏格兰的历史的正式记载是在古罗马人入侵不列颠之后的一些纪录。
公元5世纪,爱尔兰北部的盖尔人(凯尔特人的一支)移居苏格兰,曾在阿盖尔郡和比特郡地区建立达尔里阿达王国。
此后向东扩张到阿瑟尔森林和厄恩河谷,向北扩张到埃尔金地区。
公元843年达尔里阿达国王麦卡尔平兼任皮克特王国的国王,建立阿尔巴王国,王号为肯尼思一世,一个相对独立完整的苏格兰王国逐渐成形。
此后,苏格兰历经邓凯尔德王朝、坎莫尔王朝、巴里奥尔王朝、英格兰占领、布鲁斯王朝以及斯图亚特王朝统治,至1707年与英格兰王国合并成为联合王国。
威尔士历史简介威尔士位于大不列颠岛西南部,英格兰以西。
距今约29,000年便有人类定居于威尔士。
至古罗马人进入了大不列颠岛后,威尔士属于不列颠行省公元5世纪,随着罗马人的撤离,盎格鲁撒克逊人大举入侵大不列颠,直至到11世纪,威尔士人在盎格鲁撒克逊人的高压统治与入侵中度过,而同时布灵顿人开始称自己威尔士人。
公元8世纪,传说中的亚瑟王(King Arthur)领导布灵顿人抗击盎格鲁撒克逊统治。
公元9世纪和10世纪维京入侵使威尔士王国进一步统一,成为一个实体,但同时亦使威尔士落入英国皇室统治之下。
公元927年,威尔士国皇承认盎格鲁撒克逊国王阿瑟斯坦保护威尔士的主人。
在随后的11世纪中,威廉一世充分利用了这种先例,在威尔士边境建立的强大而野心的封建领地制度。
公元1282年,英格兰王爱德华一世征服最后一个威尔士北部和西部的威尔士公国(Statute of Rhuddlan)公元1284年,威尔士正式被英格兰合并,爱德华一世以《罗德兰法令》确立自己在该地区的统治。
