Being that no one listened to the king, he sent in soldiers to push them to change religions. The land owners fled their land when the soldiers came in.

A legend like the United Kingdom is not simply created, it was foraged through hardships and tribulations in order to become an unstoppable force of nature.

Though Ireland later regained its independence in 1922 but two thirds of the country stayed apart of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom who was no longer a "Kingdom" but now part of a growing monarchy has endured many throughout the years. According to FiveforThrity, “The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy, with a queen and a parliament that has two houses: The House of Lords and House of Commons.” FiveforThrity also states “Supreme legislative power is vested in parliament, which sits for five years unless dissolved sooner as well as the fact that The House of Lords was stripped of most of its power in 1911, and now its main function is to revise legislation.”
Stonehenge was a stone structure established a long time ago by civilizations before the Druid age. More than 4,000 years ago, the people of the Neolithic period supposedly decided to build a massive monument using earth, timber and eventually, stones.They placed it high on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England about 137 kilometres southwest of London. The purpose to build Stonehenge still remains a mystery. Stonehenge could have been a temple, an astronomical calendar, or a guide to the heavens. Stonehenge acts as a prehistoric timepiece, allowing us to speculate on what it would have been like during the Neolithic Period, and who could have built this megalithic wonder.
