It is the year 927 of our era. So far there exist five major (and several small) kingdoms ruled by various rulers on the British Isles ...
On July 12, 927 in the small town of Eamont Bridge (Cumbria) ...
... King Æthelstan of Wessex ...
... by the kings Constantine II of Scotland ...
... Eógan I. of Munster (South West Ireland) ...
...Howell "the Good" of Wales ...
... and Ealdred I of Northumbria ...
... is accepted as overlord.
The Pope gives his blessing ...
... but the "grace of God" was only invented later ...:
This day is considered the historical date of foundation of the Kingdom of England!
The place Eamont Bridge still exists today, it is still a pretty insignificant place ...
... which owes its name and importance to a bridge over the Eamont river, which was built by the Romans - and also still stands ...:
This monument commemorates the historical event ...:
Happy Birthday England!
Cheers!
