Index to Cotswold HyperGuide History Pages The picture to the right shows a detail from a reconstruction of the historic Battle of Tewkesbury held each year in July on the commons by Tewkesbury Abbey. Introduction Those of us who learned our history at school were taught about kings and queens and invasions and battles. Archaeology tells a different story. The current archaeological picture of the Cotswolds stresses continuity, not sudden change. The Romans did not replace the Iron Age Celts in Britain, and neither did the Saxons. Culture did not end when the Romans left Britain, and the Dark Ages were anything but dark for those alive at the time. The Roman villas in the Cotswold area were built from the distinctive local stone and were not so very different in size or purpose from the great manor houses which still stand. Change was slow and continuous. The person sitting in the big house might speak Norman French instead of Saxon, and the Saxon abbot in the local abbey might be replaced by a Norman abbot when he died, but the people on the land stayed the same and continued to do what they had continued to do for centuries. Back to the Index Neolithic and Bronze Age Cotswolds The Neolithic period spans from about 4000BC to 2000BC. Neolithic remains are very visible in the Cotswolds in the form of 70 or so

I. INTERPRETING THE COLBERT RAID A. Background In 1970 members of the Daughters of the American Revolution contacted Management Assistant Frank Hastings about ways to commemorate the engagement at Arkansas Post between British partisans led by Capt. James L. Colbert and the Spanish garrison. They hoped to do something meaningful at Arkansas Post as part of the American Revolution Bicentennial. Management Assistant Hastings was agreeable, and in September he advised the Master Plan Team, headed by James Killian, of his conversations with the DAR. The ladies informed the Master Plan Team that they would like the National Park Service to suggest to them various ways of interpreting the Colbert raid on site, and the cost of the resulting exhibit and audio visual facilities. The DAR would then determine which of the designs they liked best, and would conduct a state wide drive to raise necessary funds to implement the project. Apprised of what the DAR wished to do at Arkansas Post, Mark Sagan and Dr. Allan Kent of the Harpers Ferry Center outlined three alternatives for exhibits commemorating the Colbert Raid. These alternatives were considered by the Arkansas Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, and one adopted. Money was raised by the Daughters throughout the state to fund the Arkansas Post Bicentennial Project, which was headed by Mrs. J. S. Pollard of Stuttgart.

The Norman Period : The Church The Norman Period : Urbanization The Norman Period : The Feudalization of England The Norman conquest of England was sealed by a Norman victory in the BATTLE OF HASTINGS. Here, Norman cavalry prevailed over an Anglo-Saxon army which had no feudal cavalry. While many countries on the European continent, partly under the impression of the Norman conquest of England, introduced FEUDAL LAW and transferred their pre-feudal nobility into a feudal nobility, equipped with battle-horse and armour and trained for battle, in England feudalism was simply introduced by replacing the English-speaking Anglo-Saxon pre-feudal nobility by a French-speaking Norman nobility. No training was necessary. The Norman noblemen had a double military function. They provided a pool of cavalrymen, equipped and ready if called for, and they lived in fortified CASTLES spread all over England, making sure that they could outlast minor rebellions, holding out until relieved. The Norman noblemen were as ambitious as William the Conqueror. The conquest of England had been so easy and lucrative, and Norman lords living on the border of Wales and Scotland continued their private policy of conquest. Norman lords established fiefs of their own, by force, in the Scottish lowlands and in Wales, where these statelets were called the WELSH MARCHES and their owners MARCHER LORDS. One of these Marcher Lords, STRONGBOW, started the British conquest of Ireland (1170).

HISTORY OF NORMANDY * Normandy is a province of the ancient France, situated between Brittany and Picardie, and today shared between the High-Normandy to the east and Low-Normandy westward. * The region situated around the valley of Seine, very ancient commercial axis, were populated by many gallic tribes. In 56 before J-C, the victory of Cesar allowed their incorporation to the province of Lyon. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Normandy belonged to the kingdom of Syagrius, then to the Neustrie. Very early christianized (3rd century), Normandy gave birth to many abbeys and monasteries during the old Middle-ages, like Jumieges or the Mont Saint-Michel. The province received its historical identity during the invasions of the Normans (Danish, Norwegians), that gave it their name. In 911, by the treaty of Saint-Clair sur Epte, the king of France Charles the Simple, to avoid disturbances, decided to give them the country, in exchange for accepting leadership of the french king. He negociated with their chief Rollon, that had to be baptized, on the region of Rouen, Normandy then constituting in dukedom. The dukedom spread to the west, and its scandinavian population integrated gradually to the frank world. The duke Richard 1 st pushed the accession of Capetiens to the throne of France (987).

Houseofnames Knowledge Base > Brief History Brief History Wales, a region of rugged mountains, moors and forests, is noted for its large coal deposits. Its people are known for their strong Celtic heritage and renowned choral groups. This region was originally populated by an Iberian people, who were overrun by the Celts in the 6th century BC. The wealth of the British Isles attracted the attention of the Roman Empire, who first sent expeditions led by Julius Caesar in 55 BC and then invaded the island nation under Claudius in 43 AD. Julius Agricola , who became Governor of the new province of Britannia in 78 AD, completed the conquest of Wales by building a network of roads and erecting a substantial number of forts. A Roman legion composed of over 10,000 soldiers was garrisoned at Caerleon in the south of what is now Wales. However, the Romans abandoned the region after nearly four centuries of rule during the early 5th century. The imperial legions were recalled to Rome in an unsuccessful attempt to defend the empire from the barbarian tribes. The Romans that remained were expelled by the Britons in 409 AD. The Britons soon faced conquest by a new wave of invaders. During the 5th and 6th centuries, Germanic tribes led by the

www. SHERINGTON .org.uk History Sherington Historical Society See also The Sherington Historical Society 's website. Early History Iron Age remains have been found in the Sherington area, indicating that the area has been inhabited for a considerable period of time. There is a tumulus in Sherington itself, at the corner of Crofts End and Bedford Road, which was declared an Ancient Monument in 1973. Roman remains have also been found in the Ouse Valley area and a Roman road passed north through Sherington, branching off the main Watling Street at Magiovinium (near Bow Brickhill). Middle Ages In the 11th Century there were 3 manors in the area belonging to Edward the Confessor. After the Battle of Hastings in 1066, they were given to Geoffrey Bishop of Constance. The name Sherington may have come from the Old English Sciringtun, meaning Scira's farm. In place names such as this the first part is a personal name, whilst the suffix '-ingtun' means farm. Sherington is recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086 as 'Serintone'. In 1574 Christopher Saxton produced a map of Buckinghamshire, showing Sherington. This was the first map of an English county. John Speed's map of 1610 also shows Sherington.

From glorious cathedral cities with dreamy spires retelling centuries of history, to imposing castles and stately homes set amongst the rolling countryside, the South of England is brimming with history and heritage. Historic cathedrals in Canterbury, Rochester, Chichester, Salisbury and Winchester contrast to the more modern architecture of Arundel and Guildford. Canterbury, with its city walls, medieval streets and St. Augustine's Abbey founded in AD 598, also boasts the Canterbury Tales where Chaucer's larger-than-life pilgrims are brought to life. Literary links abound across the region, with Charles Dickens' birthplace at Portsmouth, and the City of Rochester where he spent much of his life and where his characters and stories are re-enacted during the Dickens Festival and Sweeps' Festival each year. Lewis Carroll, author of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', lived and studied in Oxford and later in Guildford, whilst Hampshire and Dorset were home to Jane Austin, and Thomas Hardy. You will find many royal and aristocratic connections across the South of England, from ancient castles like Windsor, set in sweeping parkland, to stately homes such as Blenheim Palace and Chartwell, home to Second World War Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Henry VIII was a frequent visitor to Leeds Castle, and Hever Castle was the childhood home of his second wife, Anne Boleyn.

Sicily's diversity is reflected in its architecture. You'll discover Greek temples and amphitheaters , Roman settlements, unique Norman-Arab churches and palaces (whose style is somewhat similar to Moorish but with Byzantine Greek elements), Byzantine (Orthodox) churches, Early Gothic churches, fortified medieval castles , Catalonian Gothic palaces, Baroque churches and mansions, and even a Chinese Revival villa built in the first years of the nineteenth century. (Please activate your JAVA to use these three links.) We've already described the prehistoric inhabitants of Sicily and their descendants, the Sicani and Siculi. With the arrival of the Greeks, these peoples were absorbed in every way into Hellenistic society. Usually dated from the foundation of Zancle (now Messina) in 756 BC, the incursion of the Greeks into the eastern part of the island marked a new phase in its social development. The newcomers founded Naxos, near Taormina, in 734 BC, and Catania in 729. Siracusa (Syracuse) was founded in 733 BC, Gela in 688 BC and Agrigento in 580 BC. In the three centuries following, Sicily and the southern part of the Italian peninsula would be completely colonized by Greeks, earning the region the name Magna Graecia (Greater Greece) because it boasted more Greeks (and probably more Greek temples) than Greece itself.
