Settlers in Britain
The Romans invaded Britain in AD43. After that, for 400 years southern Britain was part of the Roman world. The last Roman soldiers left Britain in AD 410, and then new peoplecame in ships across the North Sea. Historians call them Anglo-Saxons. The new settlers were a mixture of people from north Germany, Denmark and northern Holland. Most were Saxons, Angles and Jutes.There were some Franks and Frisians too. If we use the modern names for the countries they came from, the Saxons, Franks and Frisians were German-Dutch, the Angles were southern Danish, and Jutes werenorthern Danish.

Roman soldiers built Hadrian's Wall 300 years before the Anglo-Saxons came. The Wall was no defence against invaders who came across the sea.http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/primaryhistory/anglo_saxons/
Part of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. It was written in Old English, so is quite hard to read today. It tells us a lot about Anglo-Saxon history.
Where did theAnglo-Saxons settle?
When the Anglo-Saxons arrived in Britain, most kept clear of Roman towns. They preferred to live in small villages. However, warrior chiefs knew that a walled city made a goodfortress. So some Roman towns, like London, were never completely abandoned. Many Roman buildings did become ruins though, because no one bothered or knew how to repair them.
Some Saxons built woodenhouses inside the walls of Roman towns. Others cleared spaces in the forest to build villages and make new fields. Some settlements were very small, with just two or three families.
This is what anAnglo-Saxon house was like. The people are modern but wearing 'Anglo-Saxon' clothes.
Anglo-Saxon pottery, made between AD 500 and 700. Different shapes and sizes of pots had different uses....
