Medieval Kingdoms In Great Britain, 410 To 1453

De André Geraque Kiffer

Until William s consolidation of the Norman conquest, the British island of Great Britain - as opposed to Little Britain or the Gallic province of Brittany - went through a timeline where a series of kingdoms cohabited a small km² relative to the continent of Europe, which at the same time witnessed clashes between empires. At the beginning of the post-Roman period, Britain was made up of more southeastern city-states, militarized monarchies in the north-central, and tribal principalities in the rest of the territory. Religion in Britain was an important unifying factor among the island peoples and nations; and was the common identity in the fight against the Pagan Germanic invasions. The simulation will cover more than a thousand years (410 to 1453 AD) of the history of the island of Great Britain, from the end of the Roman province - that is, the end of the Old Age in the area - from Britannia to the end of the Medieval Age. In the military field the organizational structures of the main continental invaders against the great Celtic island, the Anglo-Saxons (Germanics of Germany) and the Normans (Germanics of France) will serve as models.

My  story  will  be  less  certain  than  history;  but  whoever  wants to  relive  the  past  to  study  the  similarities  and  analogies between  human  conflicts  in  the  present  is  enough  for  me  to find  it  useful.  This  War  History  of  mine  is  a  definite achievement  and  not  an  ostentatious  work  for  a  current audience.

4 PROLOGUE

I  was  inspired  to  build  this  work  by  reading  Arnold Toynbee's  book,  A  Study  of  History,  and  Trevor  N. Dupuy's  Future  Wars.  Between  2005  and  2007  I acquired  a  collection  of  board  wargames  in  New York,  and  reading  the  book  Wargame  Design published  by  Strategy  &  Tactics  Magazine consolidated  a  Matrix  for  A  Study  of  Military History.  Thus,  from  2008,  I  was  able  to  begin  an analysis  of  the  wars,  campaigns,  and  battles  of history  of  a  particular  time  and  /  or  civilization described  in  the  Smithsonian  Institute's  Atlas  of Military  History.  So  far  I  have  published  the  following series:  I.  Historical  Simulation  of  the  First  Empire Wars  in  2010;  VIII.  World  War  I  Historical Simulation  in  2011;  II.  Historical  Simulation  of  the Wars  in  Classical  Greece  in  2012;  III.  Historical Simulation  of  the  Roman  Wars  in  2016;  and  IV. Historical  Simulation  of  Wars  in  the  Medieval  Era  in 2018.  In  2014,  to  continue  my  work  "A  Study  of

Military  History,  I  read  the  book  Japanese  and

5

Chinese  Chess  -  The  Science  and  Art  of  War  and added  a  new  book  The  Study  of  Wars  and  Chess Games  to  my  planned  study,  associating  the foundations  of  chess  games  with  the  principles  of Art  and  Science  of  War.  In  each  book  of  the  work  a selected  war,  campaign,  or  battle  is  studied  at  any of  the  applicable  decision  levels,  namely  the Political,  Strategic,  Operational,  Tactical,  and Technical.  Based  on  a  summary  of  the  historical  fact I  seek  to  highlight  the  decisive  fact  (s)  causing  the negative  result  (s)  before  playing  the  simulation through  a  board  wargame  -  the  actions  on  the  other side  of  the  hill  (from  the  enemy)  are  studied through  a  parallel  electronic  wargame.  In  the simulation  all  the  possibilities  of  the  purpose  of  the study  are  completed  when  the  past  of  history  is analyzed  on  the  basis  of  present  theory  and projected  into  the  future  or  revived  as  a  what  if schematic  case.  When  we  play  we  will  follow  the maxim  WIN  ALWAYS  BUT  WITH  THE  LOWEST

POSSIBLE  COST".

8 CHAPTER  1

HISTORICAL  KINGDOMS

For  the  reader  who  wants  an  introduction  to  the history  of  the  Wargames  and  the  historical  period  of the  Art  and  Science  of  Wars  in  the  Medieval  Age, we  recommend  purchasing  the  first  book  in  this Series.

Until  William's  consolidation  of  the  Norman conquest,  the  British  island  of  Great  Britain  -  as opposed  to  Little  Britain  or  the  Gallic  province  of Brittany  -  went  through  a  timeline  where  a  series  of kingdoms  cohabitated  a  proportionately  small  area relative  to  the  continent  of  Europe,  which  at  the same  time  witnessed  clashes  between  empires  - the  first  book  in  this  Series,  Medieval  Empires  in

Europe.

9 Geography

The  British  Isles  is  an  archipelago  off  the northwest  coast  of  continental  Europe,  consisting  of the  island  of  Great  Britain,  Ireland  and  many  more adjacent  -  more  than  6,000  -  to  these  two  largest, totaling  315,134  km²  of  land  area.  With  an  area  of about  229,850  km²,  Great  Britain  is  just  under  1,000 km  from  the  south  coast  to  the  far  north  of  Scotland and  500  km  in  maximum  width.
