Take a well-paced trip through England’s ever-evolving identity, from ancient legends and royal dynasties to political reshuffles and puritanical power shifts. This course follows the timeline from mythical beginnings to parliamentary victories, giving you a structured view of how kings, crusaders, and reformers helped shape the English nation.

Each module introduces a fresh historical landscape—from Edward the Confessor and the Norman legacy, to the spirited conflicts of the Crusades and civil strife of the Usurpers. By the time the Whigs triumph, you'll not only know who they were—but why they mattered. History here isn’t simply dates and dust—it’s monarchy, warfare, religion, and sharp-witted politics, all neatly arranged.
