Happy Birthday England...!
We write the year 927 of our calendar. So far there are five larger (and several small) kingdoms on the British Isles, which are ruled by different kings ...:
On July 12, 927, during a meeting in the small town of Eamont Bridge (Cumbria) ...
... King Æthelstan of Wessex ...
... is by the kings Constantine II of Scotland ...
...Eógan I. of Munster (Southwest Ireland)
...Howell "the Good" of Wales...
... and Ealdred I. of Northumbria
... recognized as overruler.
The Pope gives his blessing ...
... the "divine right" was only invented later ...:
This day is considered to be the historic founding date of the Kingdom of England!
The place Eamont Bridge still exists today, it is still a pretty insignificant dump ...
... which owes its name and importance to a bridge over the river Eamont, which was built by the Romans - and also still stands ...:
This monument commemorates the historical event ...:
