I make it my mission to study our history,
How the nation's and people of this modern time came to be.
The writings of Herodotus, the wise Archimedes and the genius of Socrates
The bravery of leonidas at Thermopylae
The empire of Alexander from Macedonia to the Indus valley.
The madness of Nero playing his lyre happily while his city burned rapidly.
The campaigns of septimus severus and the destruction of the Caledonian confederacy.
The fall of rome at the hands of germanic tribal societies that left headed west to escape hunnic savagery.
These societies also created the Anglo Saxon heptarchy that came to dominate Britain for most of the next six centuries
600 saw the rise of Islam that spread from the middle East to the western edge of the med sea
If not for Charles the hammer all the West might have proclaimed Allah as Gods true name.
Back in my own land the Scots absorption of the pictish kingdoms
Dragons in the skies prothesized the coming of the northmen And the incredible people's that came with them
The sons of lođbrook and the great heathen army that laid waste almost the entirety of the British country.
Settlements in frisia and Normandy
Fairhair uniting a fractured Norway
Rurikid birthed the rus and the Byzantine formed the varingi.
After the conversation to Christianity the religious unity added immensely to the foundations of the modern Scots, English and Irish identity.
This unity reached its apex with cnut the great master on both sides the North sea....
