After the fall of Rome, the British Isles became the most important area in the world. It was there that the battle between good and evil was fought for centuries. Reading this History is like reading the Old Testament with the constant battles and strife.
Editor's Note
In the Book of Revelation chapter 12, Jesus said that His true church would have to flee into the wilderness and the Dragon would persecute and try to totally exterminate her. For a person living in the Roman Empire, the wilderness was Caledonia and Hibernia—lands totally unconquered by Pagan Rome. Papal Rome did send armada after armada, Vikings, Danes, Anglo-Normans etc., etc, but just as He promised:
"I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it".
(Matt. 16:18).
