History of the British Isles

 Well the analogy would be Irish english (Quebec) and english of Londoners (Paris).Quebec's  french is almost identical to Parisian'sfrench but with a different accent and they've retained a lot of words from old french which has now dissapeared in France. But I have no difficulty understanding them, I'm even a master in immitating the Quebecois accent faithfully, I make everyone laugh when I do it. 

JOHN (r. 1199-1216)

John was an able administrator interested in law and government but he neither trusted others nor was trusted by them. Heavy taxation, disputes with the Church (John was excommunicated by the Pope in 1209) and unsuccessful attempts to recover his French possessions made him unpopular. Many of his barons rebelled, and in June 1215 they forced King John to sign a peace treaty accepting their reforms.This treaty, later known as Magna Carta, limited royal powers,defined feudal obligations between the King and the barons, and guaranteed a number of rights.Magna Carta was the first formal document insisting that the Sovereign was as much under the rule of law as his people,and that the rights of individuals were to be upheld even against the wishes of the sovereign. As a source of fundamental constitutional principles, Magna Carta came to be seen as an important definition of aspects of English law, and in later centuries as the basis of the liberties of the English people. As a peace treaty Magna Carta was a failure and the rebels invited Louis of France to become their king. When John died in 1216 England was in the grip of civil war.

Henry II ruled over an empire which stretched from the Scottish border to the Pyrenees.One of the strongest, most energetic and imaginative rulers, Henry was the inheritor of three dynasties who had acquired Aquitaine by marriage; his charters listed them: 'King of the English, Duke of the Normans and Aquitanians and Count of the Angevins'.The King spent only 13 years of his reign in England; the other 21 years were spent on the continent in his territories in what is now France. By 1158, Henry had restored to the Crown some of the lands and royal power lost by Stephen; Malcom IV of Scotland was compelled to return the northern counties. Locally chosen sheriffs were changed into royally appointed agents charged with enforcing the law and collecting taxes in the counties.Family disputes over territorial ambitions almost wrecked the king's achievements. Henry died in France in 1189, at war with his son Richard, who had joined forces with King Philip of France to attack Normandy.

This is about Henry II. Next ruler please! Going on like this we will wright the whole history of the England and the UK.

Fine, Wessex is where the Saxons, and Jutes migrated to in the 5th century. Between the time they arrived and the time the vikings came. Wessex was at war with the other kingdoms. Alfred the Great in 871AD considered himself as the King England. In 927 AD Aethelstan was the last king to rule over a united England. England has remained in political unity ever since. However the Kingdom was subject to invasions by the Vikings of Denmark during the late 10th century. In response Athelred II of England ordered the slaughter of all Danish people present in England during 1002. This only managed to attract the attention and hostility of Sweyn I of Denmark and Norway. Sweyn staged four full scale invasions of England for the remainder of his life. Sweyn was proclaimed King of England in opposition to Ethelred II in 1013. He died on February 2, 1014 His son Canute the Great continued the war. Ethelred II died on April 23, 1016 His son Aedmund II of England was soon defeated by Canute. Canute agreed to co-rule with Edmund II but then later died on November 30 1016, leaving England united under Danish rule. Danish rule continued until the death of Harthacanute on June 8, 1042. He was a son of Canute and Emma of Normandy, widow of Ethelred II. Harthacanute had no heirs of his own and was succeeded by his half-brother Aedward the Confessor. The Kingdom of England was independent again.
