British History


After Rome’s exit from Britain in 410 AD, they reverted to multiple smaller kingdoms the size of dukedoms.

In 802 AD, these dukedoms had been absorbed by kings and remained independent from the Holy Roman Empire.

The Holy Roman Empire was a feudal monarchy established in 800 AD that encompassed present-day Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, the Czech and Slovak Republics, as well as parts of eastern France, northern Italy, Slovenia, and western Poland at the start of the early modern centuries.
