Kingdom: England

Comments: North Wales, the ancient home of the Ordovices and some other smaller Celtic tribes, was incorporated into the Roman Empire late in the 1st century A.D. On the collapse of the Roman Empire, the only partially-Romanized tribes formed several small Christian kingdoms, which fought among themselves quite frequently, so that attempts at uniting all the Welsh --North and South-- never succeeded. Fiercely independent, the northern Welsh successfully resisted the Anglo-Saxons from the 5th century onwards, and even the Normans, albeit that their southern kin succumbed in the 12th century. However, little more than 50 years ago, Edward I, grandfather of the present sovereign, succeeded in subduing them with a combination of firmness and guile. Since 1301 the heir to the throne has been invested with the title 'Prince of Wales ,' but this is largely a formality, and some of the Welch lords remain quiet restive. North Wales is part of the Archdiocese of Canterbury . The province is rather poor in commerce and industry, but there is some mining and agriculture.
