In 1272, Edward Plantagenet came to the English throne. <br />He conquered Wales, obtained part of Scotland. <br />Though there were bloody wars, one sees a singular unity of the Great Island: <br />One can give another a good beating, in the end people are together. <br />I don't know if it is why in 1215 a King without land <br />Shared some land the same with his subjects. <br />A Hundred Years' War is long, <br />The most important thing is that one should not care about the enemy in the end. <br />In the fifteenth century Henry the Navigator discovered Guinea, <br />England discovered a good idea <br />In the end of the century it discovered another one even better.<br /><br />Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aaf-the-origins-uk/
