The Anglo-Saxons were groups of farmer-warriors from Germany who invaded Britain over a thousand years ago, consisting of the Angle, Saxon, and Jute tribes. They lived in wooden houses clustered in villages near rivers, protected by wooden fences. They grew crops like cabbage and onions and hunted wild boar and deer, eating their meat with bread and drinking beer. They were also very superstitious, believing in charms and potions for protection from evil spirits. After the Anglo-Saxons, the Normans led by William the Conqueror invaded England and defeated the Anglo-Saxons in the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
