This course is the first of a two-course sequence on British history. It will focus on political, social, economic, and cultural change during centuries when Britain moved from being a remote province of the Roman Empire to the early years of its own imperial expansion until the beginning of the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Special attention will be given to the development of English Common Law, the foundation of the English Parliament, and the English Reformation. Must have six credit hours of history or permission of instructor. Fall every even year.
