Research into the prehistoric and historic settlement of Great Britain and Ireland is controversial, with differences of opinion from many academic disciplines. The British Isles have a long history of migration from across Europe . Over the millennia successive waves of immigrants have come to the Isles. Modern humans first arrived in what would become the British Isles during the Palaeolithic when they all formed part of the European landmass. Traditionally they are thought to have been followed by Neolithic farmers (5th millennium BC), Beaker People (3rd millennium BC), Celt s (2nd millennium BC), Belgae (1st millennium BC). Parts of the Islands became part of the Roman Empire (1st century BC), and Anglo-Saxons (c. 5th century AD) and Norsemen ( Viking s)(8th century AD) also settled in the Islands. In 1066, the Normans Successfully Conquered What Had Become England and, in subsequent years, there was some migration from France . The Normans gradually expanded their conquest into other regions of the Islands. PALEOLITHIC |
