Athelstan Makes Scotland Pledge Loyalty: Britain Unites Under One King
Æthelstan forces Constantine II of Scotland to pledge against allying with Viking kings, effectively ending Scottish support for northern invaders and establishing the first unified rule over all of England. This specific treaty marks the earliest concrete step toward a single political entity known as Great Britain, establishing a precedent for future unification rather than mere conquest.
