Prehistory, Saxon invasion and Celtic Kingdoms

By 300AD all the towns had thick walls. The Romans left about 20 large towns and a hundred of small ones. Many of the towns were at first army camps and the Latin word for it ­ castra ­ has still remained in the names of these towns: Leicester, Chester, Doncaster, Lancaster etc. The Towns were well built and connected with roads. In the countryside there were many large farms called villas. The life expectancy was short ­ 2040 years. The Saxon invasion The Invaders ­ At first the Germanic tribes only raided Britain but after 430 AD they began to settle. The invaders came from three powerful Germanic tribes ­ the Saxons, Angles and Jutes. The Jutes settled in Kent and south coast, angles settled in east and north midlands and the Saxons settled between then. They all drove most of the Celts to Wales and in north to Scotland. Hardly anything is left from the Germanic culture. The AngloSaxons established a number of kingdoms

An Anglo-Saxon attack on Rome forced the Romans to leave The British Isles. They were replaced by Germanic tribes ­ Angles, Jutes and Saxons, who drove the Celts to the north (Scotland) and west (Wales). They came from the North and Baltic Seas. Along with them came their dialects, which constitute the basis for Old English. Around 4500 words are still used today. They also had their own religion and Germanic gods. Their names are still used today: Freya ­ Friday, Thor ­ Thursday, Angle-land ­ England. The Anglo-Saxons divided the cuntry into small warring kingdoms ­ Northumbria, Mercia,

at that time. He is remembered mainly for his "Ecclesiastical History of the English People." This five volume work records events in Britain from the raids by Julius Caesar to the arrival of the first missionary from Rome. Bede's writings are considered the best summary of this period of history ever prepared. Some have called it "the finest historical work of the early Middle Ages." *The coming ofe the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Frisians to Britain ­ Very little is known about the first several hundred years of the Anglo-Saxon era, primarily because the invaders were an illiterate people. It is known that they established separate kingdoms: the Saxons settled in the South and West, the Angles in the East Anglia, Mercia, Northumbria and the Jutes in Kent. They probably thought of themselves as separate peoples, but they shared a common language and similar customs.

The capital city, London, was also built during that time. The Romans built the Hadrian's Wall in AD 122 to keep out the 2 raiding Picts from what is now Scotland. Roman soldiers brought Christianity to Britain. In AD 410, Roman forces were withdrawn from Britain. With the Romans gone, the Britons could not protect themselves from invading tribes. The greatest danger came from Germanic seafaring tribes called Angles, Saxons and the Jutes. They established kingdoms in southern and eastern England. The gradual intermarriage of these new waves of invaders and the people already living in Briton created what was called Anglo-Saxon England ­ `Angle-land'. The Angles and the Saxons became the most powerful tribes in England with the Saxons in southern England and the Angles in the north.
