    Default England Day: 30th November

    The AngloSaxon kingdoms were united several times previous to 1016 but none of those arrangements lasted long.

    1016:

    * 23rd April - King Ćthelred dies, and is succeeded by his son Edmund Ironside.
    * May - Battle of Brentford: King Edmund defeats Knut.
    * Knut besieges London.
    * 18th October - Battle of Ashingdon: Knut defeats King Edmund, leaving the latter as king of Wessex only. They agree that whoever --outlives the other shall become king of all England.
    * 30th November - King Edmund dies and Knut takes control of the whole country.

    Ever since, England has been a united country so perhaps we should celebrate 30th November as England's national day. And it's coming up to the thousandth anniversary!
