Summary: "English History" by Various is a historical account included in the 11th edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, written in the late 19th century. This comprehensive overview chronicles key events and developments in English history from the earliest records up to the Norman Conquest and beyond, exploring topics such as the establishment of Christianity, the formation of kingdoms, and the intricate dynamics between rulers and the Viking invasions. The opening of this historical account begins with a survey of the period from the arrival of Augustine in 597 AD to the Norman Conquest in 1066. It highlights the initial obscurity of England's history and the gradual emergence of a more connected narrative with the resurgence of communication with Rome. The text explains the gradual conversion to Christianity, the inter-kingdom struggles, and how the Vikings, while initially destructive, ultimately played a critical role in unifying England under a single monarchy. With notable figures such as King Alfred the Great and the reflections on the sociopolitical transformations during these turbulent centuries, the opening establishes a foundation for understanding the complexity of England's historical evolution.
