The Romans tried to conquer the British Isles but failed until 43 CE. The founded a lot of cities. Later, the Anglo-Saxons conquered the mainland. The Normans conquered England in 1066. During the 12th and 13th centuries, there were a lot of wars for the crown. The 14th and 15th centuries were very bloody and fought over small things. In the 16th century, King Henry VIII made Wales part of England. During the Renaissance, England produced many great people like Francis Bacon. There was a civil war(1642-1651).

Mythology
"The Black Dog- If you are feeling more than a little under-the-weather, maybe considering a duvet day, or just wrapping yourself up in a warm blanket and sipping a hot broth, take a quick look around you before you get settled. If you can see a big black dog with glowing eyes, you might want to ring your nearest and dearest and say some fond farewells. You’re not going to make it."

"Robin Hood was the legendary bandit of England who stole from the rich to help the poor. The stories about Robin appealed to common folk because he stood up against—and frequently outwitted—people in power. Furthermore, his life in the forest—hunting and feasting with his fellow outlaws, coming to the assistance of those in need—seemed like a great and noble adventure."

The unicorn is the national animal of Scotland. A unicorn is a horse with one horn as the name implies. And the horn has magical powers.
