England

  The coat of arms of England is actually that of house Plantagenet, the ruling family of England during the high middle ages. Though originally from Anjou, France, they attained the English throne in 1154 upon the coronation of Henry II. They were the ruling family until 1485 when Richard III died in the Battle of Bosworth Field, and the throne passed to Henry VII. The first evidence of humans in Britain is dated from between 800,000 and a million years ago. However, since very few finds have been made, the very early history of the country is virtually unknown. In the 4th millennium BCE, Neolithic immigrants from western and northwestern brought agriculture over to Great Britain. From here, they passed into the Bronze and then Iron age, where evidence of larger forts was found. It was during this period that Britain developed the Celtic culture. In the year 55 or 54 BCE, Julius Caesar launched an invasion of Britain during which accounts of the situation in Britain were recorded. Fro
