Background: The British people, or the Britons, are the citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the British Overseas Territories, and the Crown dependencies. British nationality law governs modern British citizenship and nationality, which can be acquired, for instance, by descent from British nationals. When used in a historical context, "British" or "Britons" can refer to the Celtic Britons, the indigenous inhabitants of Great Britain and Brittany, whose surviving members are the modern Welsh people, Cornish people and Bretons. Although early assertions of being British date from the Late Middle Ages, the creation of the united Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707 triggered a sense of British national identity.
Context: The indigenous people of the British Isles have a combination of Celtic, Norse, Anglo-Saxon and Norman ancestry.  Between the 8th and 11th centuries, "three major cultural divisions" had emerged in Great Britain: the English, the Scots and the Welsh, the earlier Brittonic Celtic polities in what are today England and Scotland having finally been absorbed into Anglo-Saxon England and Gaelic Scotland by the early 11th century. The English had been unified under a single nation state in 937 by King Athelstan of Wessex after the Battle of Brunanburh. Before then, the English (known then in Old English as the Anglecynn) were under the governance of independent Anglo-Saxon petty kingdoms which gradually coalesced into a Heptarchy of seven powerful states, the most powerful of which were Mercia and Wessex. Scottish historian and archaeologist Neil Oliver said that the Battle of Brunanburh would "define the shape of Britain into the modern era", it was a "showdown for two very different ethnic identities - a Norse Celtic alliance versus Anglo Saxon. It aimed to settle once and for all whether Britain would be controlled by a single imperial power or remain several separate independent kingdoms, a split in perceptions which is still very much with us today". However, historian Simon Schama suggested that it was Edward I of England who was solely "responsible for provoking the peoples of Britain into an awareness of their nationhood" in the 13th century. Scottish national identity, "a complex amalgam" of Gaelic, Brittonic, Pictish, Norsemen and Anglo-Norman origins, was not finally forged until the Wars of Scottish Independence against the Kingdom of England in the late 13th and early 14th centuries.  Though Wales was conquered by England, and its legal system replaced by that of the Kingdom of England under the Laws in Wales Acts 1535-1542, the Welsh endured as a nation distinct from the English, and to some degree the Cornish people, although conquered into England by the 11th century, also retained a distinct Brittonic identity and language. Later, with both an English Reformation and a Scottish Reformation, Edward VI of England, under the counsel of Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset, advocated a union with the Kingdom of Scotland, joining England, Wales, and Scotland in a united Protestant Great Britain. The Duke of Somerset supported the unification of the English, Welsh and Scots under the "indifferent old name of Britons" on the basis that their monarchies "both derived from a Pre-Roman British monarchy".  Following the death of Elizabeth I of England in 1603, the throne of England was inherited by James VI, King of Scots, so that the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland were united in a personal union under James VI of Scotland and I of England, an event referred to as the Union of the Crowns. King James advocated full political union between England and Scotland, and on 20 October 1604 proclaimed his assumption of the style "King of Great Britain", though this title was rejected by both the Parliament of England and the Parliament of Scotland, and so had no basis in either English law or Scots law.

Question: When did the british peoples acestral roots begin?. Whats the answer?
Between the 8th and 11th centuries,
Bakgrund: Det brittiska folket, eller britterna, är medborgare i Förenade konungariket Storbritannien och Nordirland, de brittiska utomeuropeiska territorierna och kronoberoendena. Den brittiska nationalitetslagen reglerar modernt brittiskt medborgarskap och medborgarskap, som till exempel kan förvärvas genom härstamning från brittiska medborgare. Vid användning i ett historiskt sammanhang kan "brittiska" eller "britonska" syfta på de keltiska britter, ursprungsinvånarna i Storbritannien och Bretagne, vars överlevande medlemmar är det moderna walesiska folket, korniska folket och bretoner. Även om tidiga påståenden om att vara britt härstammar från senmedeltiden, utlöste skapandet av det förenade Kungariket Storbritannien 1707 en känsla av brittisk nationell identitet. Sammanhang: Ursprungsbefolkningen på de brittiska öarna har en kombination av keltiska, nordiska, anglosaxiska och normandiska anor. Mellan 800-talet och 1000-talet hade "tre stora kulturella indelningar" uppstått i Storbritannien: engelsmännen, skottarna och walesarna, de tidigare Brittoniska keltiska politeterna i vad som idag är England och Skottland efter att i början av 1000-talet slutligen ha absorberats i anglosaxiska England och gaeliska Skottland. Engelsmännen hade förenats under en enda nationalstat år 937 av kung Athelstan av Wessex efter slaget vid Brunanburh. Innan dess stod engelsmännen (som på gammalengelskan kallades Anglecynnen) under ledning av självständiga anglosaxiska småriken som gradvis sammansmälte till en Heptarki av sju mäktiga stater, varav de mäktigaste var Mercia och Wessex. Den skotske historikern och arkeologen Neil Oliver sade att slaget vid Brunanburh skulle "definiera Storbritanniens form in i den moderna eran", det var en "uppvisning för två mycket olika etniska identiteter - en nordisk keltisk allians mot anglosaxisk. Det syftade till att en gång för alla avgöra om Storbritannien skulle kontrolleras av en enda kejsarmakt eller förbli flera separata oberoende riken, en splittring i uppfattningarna som fortfarande är mycket stor hos oss idag". Historikern Simon Schama föreslog dock att det var Edvard I av England som enbart var "ansvarig för att ha provocerat folken i Storbritannien till en medvetenhet om deras nationstillhörighet" på 1200-talet. Skotsk nationell identitet, "en komplex amalgam" av gaeliskt, Brittonic, piktiskt, nordiskt och anglo-norskt ursprung, smiddes slutligen inte förrän de skotska självständighetskrigen mot Kungariket England i slutet av 1200-talet och början av 1300-talet. Även om Wales erövrades av England, och dess rättssystem ersattes av kungariket Englands under lagarna i Wales Acts 1535–1542, höll walesiskan ut som en nation skild från engelsmännen, och i viss mån behöll det korniska folket, även om det erövrades in i England på 1000-talet, också en distinkt Brittonsk identitet och språk. Senare, med både en engelsk reformation och en skotsk reformation, förespråkade Edvard VI av England, under ledning av Edvard Seymour, 1:e hertig av Somerset, en union med Kungariket Skottland, och anslöt sig till England, Wales och Skottland i ett enat protestantiskt Storbritannien. Hertigen av Somerset stödde enandet av de engelska, walesiska och skottarna under det "olika gamla namnet britter" på grundval av att deras monarkier "båda härstammade från en förromersk brittisk monarki". Efter Elisabet I av Englands död 1603 ärvdes Englands tron av Jakob VI, kung av skottar, så att Kungariket England och Kungariket Skottland förenades i en personalunion under Jakob VI av Skottland och I av England, en händelse som benämndes Kronornas union. Kung Jakob förespråkade full politisk union mellan England och Skottland, och proklamerade den 20 oktober 1604 sitt antagande om stilen "Kung av Storbritannien", även om denna titel förkastades av både Englands parlament och Skottlands parlament, och så inte hade någon grund i vare sig engelsk lag eller skottelag.
