The Kingdom of England was, from 927 to 1707, a sovereign state and island country to the northwest of continental Europe. At its zenith, the Kingdom of England spanned the southern two-thirds of the island of Great Britain (including Wales) and several smaller outlying islands—what is today the legal unit of England and Wales. It had a land border with the Kingdom of Scotland to the north, and its capital and chief royal residence was Winchester, but Westminster and Gloucester were accorded almost equal status—with Westminster gradually gaining preference. England as a nation state began in the 9th or 10th century, but broadly traces its origins to the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain and the Heptarchy of petty states that followed and ultimately unified. The Norman invasion of Wales from 1067-1283 (formalized with the Statute of Rhuddlan in 1284) put Wales in England's control, and Wales came under English law with the Laws in Wales Acts 1535–1542. England was united with the neighbouring Scotland to create the Kingdom of Great Britain under the terms of the Acts of Union 1707. Despite a political union with Scotland, modern England endures as one of the countries of the United Kingdom. The City of Westminster in London had become the de facto capital by the beginning of the 12th century. London has thus served as the capital of the Kingdom of England, then the Kingdom of Great Britain (1707–1801) followed by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (1801–1922), and subsequently - and to this day - as the capital of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The Kingdom of England has no specific founding date. The Kingdom originated in the kingdoms of the ancestral English, the Anglo-Saxons, which were carved out of the former Roman province of Britannia. The minor kingdoms in time coalesced into the seven famous kingdoms known as the Heptarchy East Anglia, Mercia, Northumbria, Kent, Essex, Sussex and Wessex. The Viking invasions shattered the pattern of the English kingdoms. The English lands were finally unified in the 10th century in a reconquest completed by King Athelstan in 927 AD.
