Kingdom of England

Kingdom of England appears on the map from 936 to 1707. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1429, it covered about 346,363 km².

The Kingdom of England was created when Æthelstan of Wessex, building on his grandfather Alfred the Great's resistance to the Vikings, brought all the English kingdoms under his rule in 927. After conquest by the Danish king Cnut in 1016 and William of Normandy in 1066, England was tied to French lands, and under Henry II it formed the core of the Angevin realm stretching to the Pyrenees. Kings shared power with barons, as in Magna Carta of 1215, and from the 13th century with Parliament. More about Kingdom of England.
