From prehistoric times, through Julius Caesar, William the Conqueror, King John and a long line of monarchs ranging from Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I to executed Charles I and Queen Victoria, Great Britain has had a chequered history.
Here are some links that can give you an insight into the background of today's United Kingdom. Touring Great Britain can sometimes seem like a living history lesson, and like all lessons (if you were like me at school) you often wish you'd done a bit more preparation beforehand!
Seriously, a bit of background information will often greatly increase your enjoyment of your vacation, especially if you don't have the benefit of a local guide. And I find that some general backround really helps you get to grips with a country better - and nowhere is this more true than in England, Wales and Scotland.
