The Channel Islands are a group of British islands off the coast of Normandy, France, in the English Channel. They comprise two separate bailiwicks: the Bailiwick of Guernsey and the Bailiwick of Jersey... England is named after the Angles (Old English genitive case, "Engla" - hence, Old English "Engla Land"), one of a number of Germanic tribes believed to have originated in Angeln in northern Germany, who settled in England in the 5th and 6th centuries... The History of Ireland began around 8000 BC, when the island's first human inhabitants arrived from Britain and continental Europe, possibly via a land bridge. Few archaeological traces of these earliest hunter-gatherers remain, but their descendants and later arrivals were responsible for major Neolithic sites such as Newgrange.
