During the thirteenth century, England and Scotland developed clearer self-identities. In England's case, this was as a result of the loss of most of her continental possessions which focused the monarchy's attention closer to home.

Late Medieval
1348 - 1484

First outbreak of the Black Death (bubonic plague) 1348

In 1348, the bubonic plague which had been sweeping across Europe arrived in Britain through the southern coast ports. Known as the Black Death, the disease was spread by fleas living in the fur of rats and attacked a population already weakened by a series of famines.

Tudors
1485 - 1602

Henry Tudor crowned 1485, in January 1486, Henry VII married Elizabeth of York, the daughter of Edward IV, helping to unify the two factions of York and Lancaster.

Stuarts
1603 - 1713

England was to be a republic until the collapse of Cromwell's Commonwealth and the restoration of Charles II in 1660. Shortly afterwards, a devastating plague swept through the country followed by the Great Fire of London.
Compromise between the crown and Parliament finally achieved a balanced government and the two kingdoms of England and Scotland became joined in the 1707 Act of Union.

Georgians
1714 - 1836

The Georgian period was a one of change. There was a new dynasty on the throne and, before long, the very infrastructure of Britain was changing. Agricultural developments were followed by industrial innovation and this, in turn, led to urbanisation and the need for better communications. Britain became the world's first modern society.

Victorians
1837 - 1900

During Victoria's reign, the revolution in industrial practices continued to change British life. With it came increased urbanisation and a burgeoning communications network.

Early 20th Century
1901 - 1944

In medicine, one of the major advances of this period was penicillin, discovered to kill bacteria by Alexander Fleming in 1928 and isolated for clinical use during the Second World War.
