England (birthplace unknown)
United Kingdom
England, the largest country of the United Kingdom, is used here when a person's exact birthplace or residence within England is not recorded, as with the fourteenth-century Augustinian mystic Walter Hilton, author of The Scale of Perfection. Christianity was present there by late antiquity and was renewed by Roman missionaries from 597. The kingdom was unified in the tenth century and joined Scotland in 1707 to form Great Britain. The universities of Oxford and Cambridge date from the Middle Ages, the Royal Society was founded in 1660, and the Industrial Revolution began in eighteenth-century England, making the country a major centre of science.
