Cassell's History of England, Vol. 1 (of 8) From the Roman Invasion to the Wars of the Roses

"Cassell's History of England, Vol. 1 (of 8)" by Anonymous is an early 20th-century exploration of England's formative years, charting the course from Roman conquest to the Wars of the Roses. The story begins by painting a picture of pre-Roman Britain, where Celtic tribes lived and their customs formed a unique culture. It looks closely at Julius Caesar's attempts to invade and the brave resistance he faced, especially from leaders like Caractacus and Boadicea; this part shows how complicated it was when the Roman army fought against those native people defending their land. By examining things like how society was set up and what people believed, like the important part played by the Druids, the book builds a base for understanding the big changes that happened when the Romans took over Britain.
