Reposted by Vera FangDan Snow @thehistoryguy.bsky.social · 23/09/2026England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy. 761731493

Vera Fang @verafang.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I love this article - Londoners ARE nice.
