英国第一位国王，为什么没人记得？

There was a king in England named Æthelstan.

He was the first king of England.

Before him, there were many small kingdoms in England that often fought each other.

In 927, he rode north to York.

At that time, York was not his.

He took York.

That year, many kings came to see him.

They said to him: You are our king.

From that year on, England became one country.

Many people say that England started from here.

By 2027, 1,100 years will have passed since this event.

There is an Englishman who wants to hold a big event in 2027.

He wants to make a new kind of money.

He also wants one day when everyone in the country does not work.

He wrote a piece of paper saying England should have an England Day.

Only 31 people signed the paper.

Some people also want to put a very large stone figure in London.

This stone figure looks like this king.

However, London does not have this stone figure.

In another city, people also want to make a stone figure.

This stone figure is very tall.

But there are three trees there.

People living nearby said: The stone figure will damage the roots of the trees.

So this stone figure was not made either.

In 2027, Europe will also hold an event.

The people in this event come from France.

Almost 1,000 years ago, these people came to England by boat and killed the king of England.

Last year, a train in London used this king's name.

That Englishman said: In 2027, we must make it big.
