Which came first in England, the Romans or The Saxons?

Answer 1

The Romans arived in 55 BC, but did not stay. They invaded in 43 BC and stayed until 436 AD. After the Roman withdrawal, the Picts and Scots invaded. Mercenaries arrived from among the Angles and Scots to help defend against the Picts and Scots.

Anglo-Saxon settlement in Britain is believed to have started in 449 AD and the Saxons established the Kingdom of Wessex in 495 AD.

Answer 2

The Romans first invaded England under Julius Caesar in 52 BC, from their bases in northern Gaul. They returned the following year and defeated the Celts, who were native to Britain long before the Romans came. The Romans then built settlements which lasted until the early part of the 5th century when Rome began to pull back. At this time, barbarians from Germany are thought to have landed and invaded Roman Britain, the Angles Saxons and Jutes. All came from a small area along the coast of Germany, now near Bremen, so the distance was not far to sail.

They established small petty kingdoms, which we know now as the Heptarch, Mercia, Wessex, Essex, Sussex, Kent, Cornwall, and Northumberland, which eventually unified under Alfred the Great.

Romans And Saxons

Answer 5

If the Romans and Anglo Saxons on no account arrived in England, then it may maximum probably be the French (or the Irish) who could arrive next. under William the Conqueror, England will turn right into a feudal state of France and could be France's source of source. faster or later, this is going to finally end up looking like France.

Answer 7

Dear,

The SAXONS:
The Saxons immigrants in Britain, first apparently hired to repel the Scottish Picts, later obtained power with the subsequent increase in Saxon, Angle, and Jute settlement. Small kingdoms were set up in Sussex after 477, and in Hampshire (Wessex) after 495. A third group settled Essex and Middlesex at an unknown date. Sussex was conquered by about 500, but the expansion of Wessex to the Thames and Severn took two centuries. Essex was Christianized by 6000, Wessex c.660, Sussex in the 680's. All were united under Wessex in 823-25. Saxon heritage is important except in Essex, which was settled by Danes after 870.
