History of Reading, Berkshire

Reading may have existed as early as the Roman occupation of Britain, possibly as either a trading port on the River Thames, or as an intersection on the Roman road connecting London with Calleva Atrebatum near Silchester.
==Beginnings==
The first evidence for Reading as a settlement dates from the 8th century, where the town came to be known as ''Readingum''. The name probably comes from the ''Readingas'', an Anglo-Saxon tribe whose name means "Reada's People" in Old English, or (less probably) the Celtic Rhydd-Inge, "Ford over the River". The name of the settlement was derived from an earlier folk, or tribal, name. Anglo-Saxon names ending in ''-ingas'' originally referred not to a place but to a people, in this case specifically the descendants or followers of a man named ''Reada'', literally "The Red One."〔Cameron, K., (1961) English Place-names, Batsford, p. 64.〕〔Transactions of the Historical Society of Berks. County, By Historical Society of Berks. County, Published by The Society, 1910: v.2 (1905–10) p. 164〕
In late 870 an army of Danes invaded the then kingdom of Wessex and set up camp at Reading. On 4 January 871, the first Battle of Reading took place, when an army led by King Ethelred and his brother Alfred the Great attempted unsuccessfully to breach the Danes' defences. The battle is described in the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'', and this account provides the earliest known written record of the existence of the town of Reading. The Danes remained in Reading until late in 871, when they retreated to winter quarters in London.
After the Battle of Hastings and the Norman conquest of England, William the Conqueror gave land in and around Reading to his foundation of Battle Abbey. In its 1086 Domesday Book listing, the town was explicitly described as a borough. The presence of six mills is recorded, with four on land belonging to the king and two on the land given to Battle Abbey.〔
