Before you read the legends from the British Isles le ts do some
geography.
Look at the map. Britain, som etim es called G reat Britain, is the
name for the big island on the right and most of the small islands
near it. It includes Scotland, Wales and England. The island on the
left is Ireland: about 80% is the Republic of Ireland and about 20%
is N orthern Ireland.
The two islands of Britain and Ireland, and all the smaller islands
n e a r th e m th e re are m ore th a n 6,000! are o ften called th e
British Isles (isle means island). But rem em ber that people in the
Republic of Ireland d o n t usually say the British Isles: they talk
about Britain and Ireland.
There are two different states in these islands. The United Kingdom 1
of Great Britain and N orthern Ireland includes England, Scotland,
Wales and N orthern Ireland. This is a lot to say! So people often say
the United Kingdom, the UK, Great Britain or ju st Britain. The
adjective is British and its flag 2 is the Union Flag, often called the
Union Jack. The other state is the Republic of Ireland. The adjective
is Irish and its flag is a tricolour.
At the time of the legends in this book (about 450 to 1000) the
United Kingdom didnt exist. England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland
w ere g e o graph ical areas, b u t m ost of th e tim e th e re w a s n t one
single king in each country.
Now l e t s do some history. M ore th a n 2 ,0 0 0 years ago, a G reek
writer called the people of the British Isles Priteni. Because of this
nam e, the Romans gave the nam e B ritann ia to the island on the
right. The Romans invaded 3 it in the year 43 and left in about 450.
The area that is now England and Wales became part of the Roman
Empire, but Scotland and Ireland didn t.
After the Romans left, people called Angles and Saxons from the
north of Europe invaded B ritannia. Perhaps a leader fought against
the invaders, and the legend of King A rthur was born. But no one
co u ld stop th e A ngles a n d Saxons, w ho stay ed in w h a t is now
England: E ngland means land of the Angles.
In 1066 Normans, people from the north of France, invaded England. In
the 13th century they invaded Wales: Wales later was united 4 with
England. In 1603, a king of Scotland, James, became king of England,
too: he was called the King of Great Britain.
Ireland was united with Great Britain in 1800. But the Irish people
always wanted to be independent and in 1921, after fighting, it became

the Republic of Ireland. But the north of Ireland stayed with Britain, and
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was born.
You can call someone from N o rth ern Ireland both Irish and British.

Scotland, Wales, or any part of Ireland, is English!
Look out for these differences in sport. There isn't a British' football team.
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all have their own teams.
But at the Olympic Games all the British athletes are in one British team.
You can see a n o th e r exam ple in the E u r o p e a n Six N a tio n s ' rugby
competition, where the teams are Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England,
France and Italy. It isn't easy to understand... but it's interesting!

The bravest is the superlative form of the adjective brave. We generally
form the superlative by adding -est to one-syllable adjectives. If the
adjective ends in -e we add only -st.
Example: Old -* the o ldest
He is th e o ld e s t man in the world.
Nice -* the nicest
Jenny is th e n ic e s t g irl in class.
We generally add the m ost before adjectives with two or more syllables.
Example: Expensive - the m ost expensive
This is th e m o s t e x p e n s iv e watch in the shop.
Loyal - the m o st loyal A \

Dogs come from the same animal family as wolves. Dogs are very
social animals. They are happy to be near hum ans and be part of a
group. In fact, dogs think of hum ans as the members of their group,
called a pack. 1
They learn quickly and they are very loyal animals. They are able to
show love a nd frie n d s h ip and they can b e co m e a h u m a n s b e st
friend, or part of the family.
