Was that ever trying...I guess I'm the little engine that could in terms of persistance in getting this to work for me.
Anyway, HI!!!!

Milestones of the Bristish History

To prepare our intensive session (next Tuesday) I invite you to study the milestones of the Bristish History. You can go to the following address :

http://www.britannia.com/history/timelines.html

This very detailed web site presents the sweep of the British History. It could be interesting for us to extract in every section (Medevial Britain, Restoration period...) the most important events. We could then build the "milestones of the Bristish history".
