The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed---and gazed---but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.

British History
The Origins of the British Nation
King Arthur‟s Legacy
After the roman soldiers left in ad410, Britain no longer had a strong army to defend it. There were battles between anglo-saxons and Britons. In ad491, for instance, a fight for the roman fort at Pevensey in Sussex was won by the Anglo-Saxons, who killed all the Britons in the fort. Later people told stories of British leaders who fought the invaders. One was ambrosius aurelianus (a roman name). Another was king Arthur. We do not know if there was a real Arthur. Most of the stories about him and his knights of the round table come much later in history. Legend says Arthur won a great battle around ad500, but he could not stop more Anglo-Saxons coming.

Anglo Saxon Britain
Anglo Saxon Britain
• England looked very different 1,600 years ago when the Anglo-Saxons came to Britain’s shores. Much of the country was covered in thick oak forests. Most of England's one million people lived in the countryside where they made a living from farming, and there were many kings, each one ruling over a different area of England.

Anglo Saxon Britain
• With the breakdown of Rome’s control of Britain it became possible for the Angles, Saxons and Jutes from across the North Sea (who had been raiding the coast of Britain for a hundred years) to increase their pressure. Instead of raiding and then withdrawing, by about 450 A.D they were beginning to settle here. The invasion consisted of a series of attacks on different parts of the country over a period of years and under a number of leaders.
