Who was the first king of England?

Grandson of Alfred the Great.

King Æthelstan (924-939) was the first true "King of All England". His grandfather, Alfred the Great, was only the King of Wessex, even though he called himself - somewhat optimistically - "King of all the English". When Alfred took the throne, England was still five separate kingdoms. During the life of Alfred, Cornwall was annexed to his possessions, but Mercia, Northumbria and East Anglia surrendered to the Viking conquerors.

After one of the battles with the Danes, Alfred was forced to hide in the dense forests of Somerset (where he did not burn any cakes). Alfred subsequently resumed hostilities against the Danes and eventually reclaimed his old kingdom, making peace after a brilliant victory over the Viking commander Guthrum at Ellington in 878. However, at the same time, it is not clear why, Alfred gave the enemy half of the country (its entire part east of the border between London and Chester). From that moment on, it was called "Danelo", or "territory of Danish law". In response to this concession, Guthrum agreed to convert to Christianity.

Alfred sought to ensure that none of the Scandinavian invaders could no longer easily raid his kingdom, and immediately set about creating a whole network of fortress cities to protect his territory.

The plan worked. By the time of his grandson's accession to the throne, Wessex's control over all of England was fully secured. At the Battle of Brunanbur in 937, Æthelstan utterly defeated the armies of the kings of Scotland, Strathclyde, and Dublin and established an Anglo-Saxon kingdom in England.

No one can still say exactly where the Brunanbur was located. The most plausible version seems to be Tinsley Wood, near Sheffield.

The last king of "England" - that is, the last who ruled only England and nothing else - was Harold Godwinson, or Harold II. His successor William was no longer just the King of England, but also the Duke of Normandy, so that until 1558, when Calais was finally surrendered to the French, the English crown controlled a very large part of France.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

New NATO space strategy adopted 30.06.2019

NATO believes that military conflicts can be resolved, including in space. The Alliance announced the development of the first space strategy.

For the first time in history, NATO has developed a space strategy. The organization believes that in the future military conflicts can be resolved, including in space - for example, through attacks on strategically important satellites or the use of weapons in space.

In addition, at the end of the year, NATO may declare space as a separate territory for military operations. This will provide additional resources and allow space attacks to be considered in the same way as attacks on land, in the air, at sea and in cyberspace have been considered so far. Earlier, in 2016, NATO declared cyberspace a separate territory for conducting operations in order to protect itself from hacker attacks.

The reason for the increased attention to space was the fact that NATO is increasingly dependent on technology in the vacuum of space. Satellites are used for communication in military operations, they are also used for investigations and espionage, as well as for navigation systems. On the other hand, this means that attacks on satellites belonging to NATO member countries can limit their defense capability. In addition, attacks on satellites in the event of war can be used to paralyze parts of public life.
