With the collapse of the Roman
Empire and the departure of the last legions from Britain, the
Germanic tribes from the continent began to arrive. The first
groups were hired as mercenaries to protect the Island but soon
decided to stay and settle in this rich land. Soon afterwards
the Anglos, the Saxons and the Jutes began to arrive and as they
did they pushed the native Celts and Roman Brits further
westward. |
