London
Kingdom: England
Comments: London and the surrounding shire of Middlesex, is the heart of England. In ancient times a town of the Catuvellauni, London was the capital of Roman Britain, and has been an important city ever since.
Overrun by the Middle Saxons in the 6th century (hence "Middlesex"), it was often fought over by the various Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms and by the invading Danes, to emerge after Alfred the Great as the capital of England. A part of the Archdiocese of Canterbury , there is a Bishop in residence in the town of Westminster, a few miles upstream from London. The city of London has many noble monuments, including the walls, which, although much patched and repaired, are still largely those of Roman times; the Tower erected by King William the Conqueror, and the famous bridge. Likewise nearby Westminster is the home of great abbey in which English sovereigns are traditionally anointed and crowned.
London is by far the largest city in England, and its largest port, the center government, commerce, and industry, and the rest of the shire is rather productive agriculturally.
