1086

The town name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'Wulfhere's estate'. It was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Wluerintone. The original Wolverton was a medieval settlement just north and west of today's town. This site is now known as Old Wolverton, although the medieval village is all but gone. The Ridge and Furrow pattern of agriculture can still be seen in the nearby fields and the Saxon (rebuilt in 1819) Church of the Holy Trinity still sits next to the Norman Motte and Bailey site. Only the earth mound rema ...

William was the son of William VIII of Aquitaine by his third wife Hildegarde of Burgundy. His birth was an event of great celebration, but at first he was considered illegitimate by religious authorities because of his father's earlier divorces and his parents consanguinity. This obliged his father to make a pilgrimage to Rome soon after his birth, where he sought and received papal approval of his marriage and children. In 1094 he married Philippa of Toulouse, the daughter and heiress of William IV of Toulouse. By Philippa, William ...

From the year 1053, the Murabits began to impose their orthodox and puritanical religion on the Berber tribes of the desert, and on the pagan black Africans. Yahya ibn Ibrahim was killed in a battle in 1056, but Abd-Allah ibn Yasin, whose influence as a religious teacher was paramount; named his brother Abu-Bakr Ibn-Umar as chief. Under him, the Murabits soon began to spread their power beyond the desert, and subjected the tribes of the Atlas Mountains. They then came in contact with the Berghouata, a Berber people of central Morocco, who fo ...

In the 7th century, Dalriada (part of what is now Scotland) was the first territory in what is now the UK to conduct a census, with what was called the "Tradition of the Men of Alba" (Senchus fer n-Alban). England took its first Census when the Domesday Book was compiled in 1086 for tax purposes. The UK census as we know it today started in 1801 (championed by John Rickman who managed the first four up to 1831), partly to ascertain the number of men able to fight in the Napoleonic wars, partly over concerns stemming from An ...

Liverpool is famous for many things, including popular music, the Slave Trade, and later, contributions to the Industrial Revolution. Unfortunately, Toxteth is probably most famous for the riots that took place in 1981. Fierce battles between members of the local community and the police took place in July of that year – sparked by the arrest of Leroy Alphonse Cooper. The Merseyside police force had a poor reputation at the time for stopping and searching young blacks in the area under the infamous "sus" laws and the police officers' handl ...

Birmingham has a recorded history going back 1000 years. In this time, it has grown from a tiny Anglo-Saxon farming village into a major industrial and commercial city. The Birmingham area was occupied in Roman times, with several military roads and a large fort. Birmingham started life as a small Anglo-Saxon hamlet in the Early Middle Ages. It was first recorded in written documents by the Domesday Book of 1086 as a small village, worth only 20 shillings. In the 12th century, Birmingham was granted a charter to hold a market, ...

Upminster is a chiefly residential district and consists of mainly Victorian and Edwardian housing laid out on wide leafy roads with several parks and open spaces, a golf course, pitch 'n' putt course, tennis clubs and a bowling green. More modern post-war residential development has gone on in nearby Cranham, however because of the introduction of the Greenbelt laws development was halted and the combined area of Upminster and Cranham forms the ...

The town name is Anglo-Saxon though excavations in the town centre in the early 1990s found an Iron Age hillfort dating from around 650BC. The town is sited on an outcrop of Portlandian limestone which accounts for its prominent position in the surrounding landscape, which is largely clay. Aylesbury was a major market town in Anglo-Saxon times, famous in addition as the burial place of Saint Osyth, whose shrine attracted pilgrims. The Early English parish church of St. Mary (with many later additions) is built over remains of the Saxon crypt. At the Conquest, the king took the manor of Aylesbury for himself, and it is listed as a ro ...

In 1086, Duke Vratislaus II, and, in 1158, Duke Vladislaus II, were crowned King of Bohemia as a personal award from the Holy Roman Emperor. The title, however, was not hereditary.

Compasses were initially used in feng shui in ancient China. The first known use of Earth's magnetic field in this way occurred in ancient China as a spectacle. Arrows were cast similarly to dice. These magnetised arrows aligned themselves pointing north, impressing the audience. The earliest record of use of magnetic lodestone as a direction point was in a 4th century Chinese book: "Book of the Devil Valley Master" "Dream Pool Essays" written by Song Dynasty scholar Shen Kua in AD 1086 contained a detailed description of how geomance ...

Hemel Hempstead was announced as candidate No 3. for a New Town in July 1946, in accordance with the government's "policy for the decentralisation of persons and industry from London". Initially there was much resistance and hostility to the plan from locals, especially when it was revealed that any development would be carried out not by the local council but by a newly appointed government body, the Hemel Hempstead Development Corporation (later amalgamated with similar bodies to form the Commission for the New Towns). However, following a public inquiry the following year, the town got the go-ahead. Hemel offic ...

Leamington is a fairly modern town, which barely existed before the 19th century. Until the beginning of the 1800s the town was actually little more than a village which went by the name of Leamington Priors. Leamington was first mentioned in the domesday book of 1086 as Lamintone. For 400 years the settlement was under the control of Kenilworth Priory. Leamington would have probably remained as a small village near Warwick, had it not been for the re-discovery of the healing properties of spa waters (they had been known ...

When Kammu moved the capital to Heian (Kyoto), which remained the imperial capital for the next 1,000 years, he did so not only to strengthen imperial authority but also to improve his seat of government geopolitically. Kyoto had good river access to the sea and could be reached by land routes from the eastern provinces. The early Heian period (794-967) continued Nara culture; the Heian capital was patterned on the Chinese capital at Chang'an, as was Nara, but on a larger scale. Despite the decline of the Taika-Taihō reforms, imperial gover ...

The town is also very close to the border between Shropshire and Herefordshire, and in the Domesday Book was included in Herefordshire.

Ludlow Castle was the seat of the Council of Wales and the Marches and a temporary home to several holders of the title Prince of Wales, notably Arthur Tudor, who died there in 1502. The town is now the headquarters ...

Hastings was not a Roman settlement, although there are traces of Iron Age or Romano-British earthworks. The town of Hæstingas (probably referring to the followers of an Anglo-Saxon leader called Hæsta), is mentioned in documents from the eighth century, and a royal mint was established there in the reign of Athelstan. William the Conqueror made his headquarters here on his arrival in England, and the Battle of Hastings was fought a few miles a way near the present town of Battle. In this battle, William defeated and killed Harold G ...

Some development occurred in the early Norman Period in the area around St. Peter's Church, which was built in stone in the 13th century, on the site of an earlier timber structure. The nearby Plestor (The name is derived from 'playstow', or playground) had stocks and an oak, which stands, in front of the current Spread Eagle Inn. The village developed economically in the three centuries following Domesday. St. Peter's Church was built in stone in the 13th century, replacing an earlier timber structure. (St. Peter, West Liss.

Andover UK’s first mention in history is in 950 when King Edred is recording as having built a royal hunting lodge there. In 962 King Edgar called a meeting of the Saxon 'parliament' his hunting lodge near Andover. Of more importance was the baptism, in 994 of the Viking leader Olaf Trygvason. This was part of a deal with King Ethelred II of England (“The Unready”) whereby he stopped ravaging England and returned home. Olaf became king of Norway in 995 and tried to convert his country to Ch ...

Hucknall was once a thriving market town. It's focal point is the parish church of St. Mary Magdalene, next to the town's market square. The church was built by the Saxons and completed after the Norman Conquest, though much of it has been restored during the Victorian era. The oldest known versions of the name Hucknall are "Hokeuhale" and "Hokenale", which may mean "Oakenhall" (The Hall In The Wood). It is easy to see how this could change to Hucknall ...
