Medieval Life

Medieval society was largely rural, with most people living in villages and working as peasants on the land. Towns were smaller and fewer. Homes were simple, often single-room structures made of wattle and daub with thatched roofs. Religion played a significant role in daily life, with church attendance being a central activity. The feudal system shaped social structure and governance.

The Tudors

The Tudor dynasty ruled England and Wales from 1485 to 1603. Henry VII's victory at the Battle of Bosworth marked the beginning of the Tudor reign. The reign of Henry VIII is notable for the English Reformation, with Henry declaring himself the head of the Church of England in 1534. This period saw significant religious and political changes.

Immigration has shaped Britain throughout its history, beginning with the first human settlers around 25,000 years ago. Different groups have migrated to Britain over the centuries, each contributing to the country's development. The impact of migration can be seen in various aspects of British society and culture. The British Empire played a role in migration patterns, particularly from Asia and Africa.
