The history of Britain itself began much earlier, with the appearance on the island of the first hominids (klekton culture), or with the appearance of the first people of modern type after the last glaciation, in the Mesolithic era. C IX-VIII centuries BC in Britain actively resettled Celts who wanted to escape from the power of the Romans. The pressure from the state of the Huns and the weakening of the Roman Empire in the year 410 with the Islands left by the Romans and invaded by waves of Saxons, formed here 7 kingdoms (then United in one Kingdom of England) and became the main rulers of these lands (except for the territories of Wales and Scotland).
