What is the significance of wine toasting during wedding?
What about the origin of "toasting"? As drink goes, wine has always been central to the wedding, even mentioned in the Bible. The first recorded toast was given at a Saxony feast in 450A.D. by a woman who became a bride herself before the end of the evening. British King Vortigern was so moved by the sentiment-- a simple "Lord King, be of health," offered by Rowena, daughter of the Saxony leader Hengist, that he proceeded to make passionate love to her. Intoxicated by the drink, possible love, and definitely greed, he then bargained with Hengist for her hand. A deal was arranged whereby Hengist received the province of Kent in exchange for her hand. Vortigern and Rowena were married that same evening. From that time forth, "to life, to health, to love," has been a part of the toasting tradition, as glass touches glass and a chorus of clinks heralds a festive time for all. Once it literally involved scorched bread. In the days when wine was regularly decanted, it left much more sediment than our modern bottles do. So the French cleverly placed a piece of toast in the bottom of the cup to absorb the dregs. A competent toaster drank everything to get to the toast at the bottom because decorum dictated that one drain the glass. So good wishes were often accompanied with the dictum, "Bottoms up!" Today the good wishes remain but happily the actual soggy toast has disappeared. And, clinking of glasses after a toast scares away the devil who is repelled by the noise.

What are the most important events between 500 AD and present day?
Strictly speaking I refer to 449 to 500 AD but The Adventus Saxonum washed across post Roman Britannia in waves of invaders from across the North Sea, beginning with the arrival of the Jutish brothers Hengest and Horsa to the island of Britannia, then a Roman-Brythonic land which was the most northerly outpost of Roman colonial rule, and culminating in the death of the Brython chief Vortigern. These events mark this period as one of outstanding importance for all the ethnic English. Having been summoned from Jutland the two war leaders were asked to defend the Romanised Brythons against the pillaging Picts who came from an area in what is now known as the lowlands of Scotland ( Scotland did not exist then as a country and was tribal). This they accomplished with speed only to find that Vortigern had 'welshed' on the deal regarding reward for this campaign in which men had died defending a land which did not belong to them and in which they had no stake. It was therefore agreed that more warriors would be sent for from the Jutish, Angle and Saxon lands. Major battles for land were then fought between the armies of Vortigern and Hengist and Horsa, the most important being the battle of Aylesford Kent in which Horsa fell. The battle standard of the brothers was the white horse and to this day the White Horse stone, a huge ice age erratic rock is venerated by English people as the birthplace of the earliest struggles to create Engel-land or England. It is the symbol of the county of Kent to this day. A good article on this battle and the timeline of Adventus Saxonum is on www.englandandenglishhistory.com
