CE 1536 - England and Wales are joined by the Act of Union.

The Act of Union of 1536 was a major landmark in English and Welsh history, creating a single realm and legal system for both countries.

The Act formed England and Wales into a single political and legal entity, with the two countries united under one Parliament of England.

The Act abolished the Welsh Court of Great Sessions and established a single Court of the Great Sessions for England and Wales.

It also provided for the appointment of a single Lord Chancellor for England and Wales.

The Act made it a legal requirement for all public documents, including court proceedings, to be written in English rather than Latin or Welsh.

The Act made it illegal for Welsh people to practice their own law in the courts.

It also abolished Welshcoinage and made English coinage the legal currency of England and Wales.
