Известные люди Великобритании..

The history of the English Crown up to the Union of the Crowns in 1603 is long and eventful.
The concept of a single ruler unifying different tribes based in England developed in the eighth and ninth centuries in figures such as Offa and Alfred the Great, who began to create centralized systems of government.
There have been anglo-saxon kings, the Normans, the Angevins, the Plantagenets, the Lancastrians, the Yorkists, the Tudors the most well-known dynasty in Royal history. There have been also a number of Scottish royal dynasties till the both crowns were combined in the 17th century. The current monarch of the United Kingdom is from the House of Windsor. It can be said a lot about all of the kings and queens as many of them left memorable spurs in the history of their country but I would like to talk about few of them who happened to play an important role in the world history.
