  • Alfred the Great and the Golden Age
  • The Magna Carta and the foundation of Parliament
  • The first royal execution and the first and only British Republic
  • The Glorious Revolution
  • The birth of Britain and the act of union
  • The first Prime Minister and parliamentary democracy
  • The British bobby
  • The suffragettes
  • The NHS and free health care
