Аннотация к работе
The early settlement at London did not have stone walls but there may have been a ditch and an earth rampart with a wooden palisade on top. There may have been a few people living inside the walls by fishing or farming but London ceased to be a town. Slag from metal forges have been found proving there were many blacksmiths at work in the town. A writer said "they proceeded to attack the city stoutly and wished to set it on fire but here they suffered more harm and injury than they ever thought any citizen could do them". The next day the king went to mass at Westminster while he was away the rebels broke into the Tower of London and killed the Archbishop of Canterbury and several royal officials who had taken refuge there.It has occurred historically that four main nations have settled on the territory of the United Kingdom. Telling of these cities shows us the national peculiarities of people living on the territory of Great Britain.

It has occurred historically that four main nations have settled on the territory of the United Kingdom. They live in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Main cities of these areas are London, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast. Telling of these cities shows us the national peculiarities of people living on the territory of Great Britain. Despite the existing national differences they are very connected culturally and economically. So, the English, the Scottish, the Welsh and the Irish are the citizens of the united state and they all are devoted to their queen.
