(Note: Edward V was one of the 'Princes in the Tower', and during the time he should have ruled, his uncle Richard III was in power instead, hence the reason he does not appear on this list.)

The present Westminster Abbey, begun by Henry III in 1245, is one of the most important Gothic buildings in the country, with the medieval shrine of an Anglo-Saxon saint still at its heart. At that time, it was a Benedictine Abbey. Since the protestant revolt, it is no longer Catholic.

Some people liked him and some people didn't.

They never left, they might have been pushed west a bit when the Vikings started invading, and they may have lost influence and power, but they never actually left.

Modern Britain is made up of a mixture of people of Anglo-Saxon, Jute, Scandinavian and Danish and Roman origin, amongst many others, and people came from these countries to colonise the British Isles. The only invaders to actually come to Britain and then leave were the Romans, who left in 410AD because Rome itself was being attacked by Germanic tribes and the soldiers were needed for her defence. Britain was also being increasingly invaded by Germanic tribes, but was told by Rome to "Look to your own defences", ie, you are on your own!

The Battle of Hastings was over a thousand years after jesus was supposed to be born.

10 days 9 hours 3 minutes. :)))

It is a collection of annals about the history of Anglo-Saxons and is written in Old English.

Kaiser Wilhelm's armies fought there final offensive action (The Second Battle of the Marne) on virtually the same ground where they had been stopped four years earlier (The First Battle of the Marne). This only heightened the tragic realization that four long and bloody years separated these two actions.

the black death and king john helped end the feudal system

An English Lord, Harold Godwinson did. He claimed that the deceased king had entrusted to him the throne of England. Unfortunately so did the Viking chief Harald Hardrada and the Norman king William the Conqueror.

After William defeated Harold at the Battle of Hastings, he became King of England and was crowned on Christmas Day, 1066.

The Battle of Hastings took place at Senlac Hill.
