Wales remained Celtic lands after the invasion by Anglo Saxon tribes and by 500 AD An Irish tribe (the Scots) had settled in the far North of the British isle to Argyll forming the beginning of Scotland.
By 827 AD the first King of the unified Angeland' was crowned and by 843 BC the Scots and Picts tribes were united by Kenneth McAlpin to form a united Scotland.
1066 The battle of Hastings
Harold II son of the Earl of Wessex had sworn an oath of allegiance to Duke William of Normandy that William was the rightful king of England (Angleland) as the childless king Edward The Confessor had promised him the throne on his death. Backed by the royal counsel or Witan (who did not want a foreign ruler) Harold broke his oath and took the crown on the Kings death in January 1066. Duke William called upon Harold to honour his oath, and when this was refused William landed his army of around 9000 men unopposed at Pervensy near Beachy Head 28 September 1066.
