Rulers and Kings of Great Britain
England is the land of kings and queens, their triumphs and tragedies, conspiracies and glorious victories. From the harsh Alfred the Great, who fought the Vikings, to Henry VIII, who severed ties with the Pope and created his own church, the rulers of England changed its destiny more than once. William the Conqueror brought Norman rule here, and Richard the Lionheart left the throne for the Crusades, preferring the sword to the crown.
Under the power of the powerful Tudors, the country grew stronger, and Elizabeth I ushered it into a golden age, when seafarers discovered new worlds and Shakespeare wrote immortal works. King Charles I tried to rule autocratically, but he paid the price with his life, and his country briefly became a republic under Cromwell. After the Glorious Revolution, England chose the path of constitutional monarchy, and royal power was never absolute.
In the 19th century, Queen Victoria ruled the largest empire in the world, and her descendants survived two world wars, retreating from their former power, but not from their heritage. Elizabeth II became a symbol of stability for generations, ruling the longest in the country's history. Today, England retains its monarchy as part of its identity, and its kings no longer lead armies into battle, but are still living symbols of the nation.
