British history with names that we can remember begins with the Romans in 55 BC. The conquest itself did not start until AD 43. The resistance produced famous leaders including Caractacus and Boudicca, sometimes called Boadicea. Romans were in Britain for 500 years, roughly the same time as it is from the Wars of the Roses to the present day. When they left in around AD 410 they took with them the discipline of maintaining society. Crafts and skills were lost, houses, villas and roads crumbled. Gradually the tribes grouped together fought invaders until in the 10th century AD the peoples of England were ruled by one king, Athelstan. The Britons remained beyond the Marches of Wales and the Celtic clans fought each other and marauded into England as far south as Lancashire.
