 | | One of the most famous events in English martial history occurred in 1588 when the Spanish Armada was repelled by Sir Francis Drake, but the war that followed was very costly for England and only ended after Elizabeth's death. | | | The History of England, From the First Invasion by the Romans to the Accession of William and Mary in 1688 | | | The defeat of King Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 at the hands of William of Normandy, later styled William I of England and the subsequent Norman takeover of Saxon England led to a sea-change in the history of the small, isolated, island state. |

| | The New Oxford History of England, in the conception of the late John Roberts, effects a conscious break with the old chronological structures. | | | The history of the elite culture of the court is given as much coverage as it is reasonable to expect in a general history of this sort. | | | Thematic chapters periodically interrupted the narrative to explore aspects of social and cultural history; it was the narrative, however, which provided both the backbone and the structure. |

| | The different authors interpreted "English History" differently, with Taylor opting to write the history of the English people, including the people of Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Empire and Commonwealth where they shared a history with England, but ignoring them where they did not. | | | The Oxford History of England is one of the most prominent and acclaimed modern history series, written by many of the then-leading historians of each period. | | | Since then there has been a trend in history to restrict the use of the term "England" to the state that existed pre 1707 and to the geographic area it covered and people it contained in the period thereafter. |

| | H-Net Review: Robert Bucholz on A Land of Liberty? England, 1689-1727 |
| | As with the History of Parliament volumes, tables (this time clearly marked as such) and quotations are well chosen. | | | This seems to the reviewer a reasonable compromise with "three kingdoms" revisionism in that it results in a more coherent text than would a narrative history of Britain, while explaining fully how other regions affected the English story. | | | Clearly, the old charge that History of Parliament biographies were limited in usefulness by their nearly exclusive concentration on parliamentary, or at least high political, activities cannot stand the evidence of these entries. |

| | Reviews in History: The Mid-Victorian Generation 1846-1886 |
| | Given this vacuum, the publication in the spring of 1998 of Professor K. Theodore Hoppens volume in the New Oxford History of England was a welcome development in Victorian historiography. | | | And although other new syntheses of Victorian history are in the offing ¾ most notably in the new Penguin History ¾ The Mid-Victorian Generation, with all the scholarly trappings of a volume in an Oxford history, is the benchmark against which the next few decades of scholarship will be tested. | | | Apart from evolution, the intellectual history of the period is ignored, so the widely differe nt verdicts of, for example, Maurice Cowling and Stefan Collini, on the nature of Victorian public doctrine cannot be addressed. |

| | Oxford is first mentioned in 911 when the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, a sort of national diary, said: 'King Edward received the burghs of London and Oxford and London with all the lands belonging to them'. | | | Oxford was founded in the 9th century when Alfred the Great created a network of fortified towns called burghs across his kingdom. | | | By the time of the Norman Conquest there were said to be about 1,000 houses in Oxford, which meant it probably had a population of around 5,000. |

| | The actual origins of Oxford are shrouded in the mists of time, though that didn't stop John Rous, medieval historian, from inventing a rather dramatic genealogy for the city. | | | Unlike towns such as London, Colchester, and Chester, Oxford seems to have been largely ignored by the Roman conquerors, although there is evidence of pottery kilns here which may have supplied earthenware vessels to the new rulers of the island realm. | | | Certainly Oxford was not a centre of any importance by the time the Romans invaded Britain. |
