English Monarchy Established In the A.D. 800s the island of Great Britain was divided among several small kingdoms. Like the rest of Western Europe, these small kingdoms faced significant threats from the Vikings in the North. These kingdoms were made up of the Anglo-Saxons. They shared a common language and culture In A.D. 886 an Anglo-Saxon leader by the name of Alfred The Great was able to unite these kingdoms into one nation, which he called Angleland. This would later be changed to England.

Alfred The Great Alfred The Great created a strong central government, and was able to use his strength to defeat the Vikings, as well as other threats in the area. Alfred sought to bring about cultural reform in his kingdom. To do this he established schools, and had a number of literary works translated into the language of the Anglo- Saxons. The Anglo-Saxon kings would rule England for the next 200 years.

Arranged Marriages Over the next 200 years Anglo-Saxon nobles arranged marriages between one another for financial and political reasons. These arranged marriages started very young, before anyone else could arrange the marriage and gain land. Sometimes parents arranged marriages that were solemnized while children were still in cradles. There are many cases of eight year olds marrying each other, as well as 14 year olds marrying seven year olds. Children were considered capable of consent to marriage at the age of seven, but marriages could be voidable, as long as a girl was under the age of 12 and the boy under 14. At these ages, kids could be rid of their marriage, but most were pressured to into staying in the marriage, because of the land opportunities.

Peace-Weavers A specific type of arranged marriage was that of a peace-weaver The term "peace-weaver" means exactly what it says: it was the role of a woman (usually a noblewoman) to marry someone (usually a nobleman) from a rival tribe or clan to weave peace between the two groups. The most important job of a peace-weaver is to become a mother having a child blends the bloodlines of the two tribes, physically making them one.

William The Conqueror In A.D. 1066, after the death of Edward The Conqueror, the last Anglo-Saxon king of England, a man by the name of William The Conqueror asserted his right to rule England. William was Edward’s cousin, and lived in Normandy, France. Using his influence, William gathered an army of 6,000 soldiers, which he used to conquer England. After placing himself on the throne, he rewarded his vassals from Normandy with the lands of many of the English nobles

Reign Reforms In 1086,the Domesday book was published (the first complete english land register) Many castles and keeps (helped with revolts) throughout England, foundation of Tower of London The French replaced English for nearly 300 years He eliminated the English aristocracy in 4 years Domesday book

Death,burial and succession When William was besieging Mantes in 1087, he fell from a horse and cut his colon After a few weeks, he died at the convent of St.Gervaise Before his death, he divided his succession between his 3 sons: Robert III – the oldest son got Normandy William II – England Henry I – he received 5000 silver pounds, after William II’s death he became the English king William was burried in Caen, but his grave was defiled twice (French wars of religion, the French Revolution) Nowadays, only his left femur remains in the tomb

Henry I And Henry II Under the rule of William’s son, Henry I and the subsequent rule of his great grandson Henry II, the authority of the English monarchy was further strengthened. Henry I setup a system of royal courts to judge the people who were accused of crimes, Henry II established a set of common laws, which applied throughout the kingdom. This was an important accomplishment. Prior to this time, laws were different from manor to manor, and depended on individual lords. Now, under the rule of Henry II, laws were unified throughout his kingdom.

Richard I and John I After the death of Henry II, the rule of England fell to his son, Richard I, and later to another of his sons, John. These leaders were not effective. Richard was far more interested in his holdings in France and in his Crusading endeavors than he was in governing England, where he spent about six months of his ten-year reign. In fact, he nearly depleted the treasury left by his father in order to fund his Crusade. John lost territory to the French, which upset many. He also increased taxes, and oppressed many of his people, arresting them without trials.

Magna Carta In A.D many of the nobles in England who were tired of losing their power, and who were concerned by the tyrant-like behavior of John, came together, and wrote a document called the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta is one of the most important documents in history. It guaranteed the people certain rights, and bound the king to certain laws. The Magana Carta declared: - No freeman shall be taken, imprisoned,... or in any other way destroyed... except by the lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land. To no one will we sell, to none will we deny or delay, right or justice

Magna Carta After writing the document, these nobles forced King John to sign it, on the threat of civil war. Their intention was only to protect the rights of nobles. They did not care so much about the poor peasants. Nevertheless, in time, the rights established by the Magna Carta were also extended to commoners.
