I agree Emma, but I think it is propaganda (haha). However the Romans wern't too nice and by all accounts the recently migrated celts who came after the last ice age and whose decendents we call Scots and Welsh were always fighting between themselves. The first united peoples of England were the Anglo Saxons, though they had a rocky start of course.

The most visible British genetic marker is red hair,he added . (The he being archaeologist David Miles.) The writer Tacitus noted the Romans' surprise at how common it was when they arrived 2,000 years ago.

Cornish, Welsh, Scot or Irish mostly suffered worse under Norman conquest.

By the way Liz, can you guess who came second?
