Christian Church brought education and written literature to Britain. In the early years of the 9^th century Britain was invaded by the Vikings. In 1066 William the Conqueror who came from Normandy, defeated the English in the Battle of Hastings and became the king of England. It is regarded to be a turning point in English history. The king was at the top of the society, surrounded by great noblemen or barons. But in 1215 King Kohn was forced to sign a document known as Magna Carta which took away some of the king's power. In 1264 the first parliament met and since then it power has been growing.

The monarch in Great Britain reigns but doesn't rule. So the UK is a constitutional monarchy.

Each period of British history is reflected in its culture. There are lots of historical sites and places of interest worth visiting. Stonehenge and Hadrian Wall, York and Bath, the capitals of the four parts of the UK: Cardiff, Edinburgh, Belfast and of course London. The capital pf England was founded by Romans.
