The First British Empire: the beginnings of English dominance, 1050-1300
By the middle of the eleventh century, the various nations of the British Isles were characterised by quite distinct cultures and political and economic systems and elites. Yet the relationships between the various nations were entirely redrawn between about 1090 and the 1170s, as the Norman political elite of England came to control each of them in turn. In Wales, Norman barons progressively took over Welsh territory in as a kind of private-enterprise expansion; in Ireland, private military interventions by the Norman elite from 1169 culminated in takeover by the king of England; in Scotland, Norman baronial involvement led to the remodelling of the kingdom and its takeover by Norman interests largely outside the ambit of the kings of England. Though the details varied considerably, the overall effect was that all parts of the British Isles came to be ruled by members of the same elite. The establishment of English-based domination of the British Isles remains central to British politics and culture. -

The French Revolution
It can be difficult to reconcile the two most famous achievements of the French Revolution - the declaration of the rights of man and citizen of 1789 and the use of the guillotine to crush dissent in 1793-4. This module offers you an introduction to the complexities of this subject. First, we seek to grasp the eighteenth-century world in which the revolution took place; then we consider the principal features of the Revolution up to 1794 and identify the challenges that led to its radicalisation. The rest of the module invites you to think about three questions: 1) how committed were the revolutionaries to the idea of equality; 2) what explains the slide into Terror and execution in 1793; and 3) how deeply did the Revolution shape the daily life of French people? -
