Just did a bit of googling, and it says, the first king of ireland, was Henry V111, and the first queen catherine parr, in 1541, after doing away with the title 'lordship of ireland'. That being the case, how long does one actually go back in history, to try to categorise what we are today? The first scandinavian settlers? The norman conquest of enger land, that were anglo saxons etc etc? I used to love all this ancient history caper, but my interest is dwindling as my age is increasing lol First British king. We had our own kings long before that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dogmandont 9,312 Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 It does always make me giggle a bit - usually those who are the most devoutly BRITISH are the English. Don’t forget about the Scottish planters in Northern Ireland. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used to love all this ancient history caper, but my interest is dwindling as my age is increasing lol As far as I remember, I'm open to correction on this, Britain was much the same as every other celtic country. Ran by its own tribes and clans. Then the Romans came, changed a lot, they left, the the Saxons, added more to the mix, and then the norse. As far as I can make out, imo, England is mostly based on Saxon ways, laws and traditions. Scotland and Wales wasn't affected as much as England was, but that in turn changed in time also.

I like history, especially ancient history, have an interest in it. But I don't get to chat about it with many here, cause they have zero intrest in it, so it makes a nice change for me lol Atb j 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
