English History

Trace the evolution of England from Roman times to Brexit—all online, and no armour required.

Overview:

English History has more plot twists than a detective novel, and this course navigates them with precision and wit. From the shadow of the Roman Empire to the Brexit headlines, you’ll explore the individuals, institutions, and ideologies that carved out England’s role in the world—occasionally with questionable fashion choices.

We examine the power struggles, reforms, revolutions, and empire-building that defined England across centuries. All presented in structured segments, minus the melodrama and with a distinct preference for facts over folklore.
