The document summarizes the Anglo-Saxon invasion and settlement of Britain following the withdrawal of Roman forces in the 5th century AD. It describes the various Germanic tribes involved, including the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, who originated from areas in modern-day Germany and Denmark. It discusses the social hierarchy that developed in Anglo-Saxon society, including kings, thanes, ceorls (freemen), and slaves. The invasion resulted in Celtic displacement and assimilation as the Anglo-Saxons established control over territory in Britain over the next 200 years.

2. Causes? they had been raiding Britain for 200 years and were aware of rich pickings to be had and, no doubt, the geography of much of the Eastern sea-board.

3. the Anglo-Saxons must have been aware of the withdrawal of the Roman Army and the collapse of the economy. The time was right for a takeover.

4. devastating epidemics such as plagues which reduced the population in parts of Britain and a worsening of the climate in Northern Europe.

5. There is some evidence of Romano-British survival in agricultural practices with the cultivation of spelt wheat at West Stow. Some of the Romano-British people were assimilated into Anglo-Saxon society as slaves.

6. Physical evidence It took more than 200 years for the borders of Saxon England to be pushed to the far west.

7. we can see examples of the pottery with deep furrowed grooves on the shoulder like those from the Anglian homelands and from cemeteries in Norfolk; sharply angled pots with facets cut out, like those from the Saxon regions of the Elbe Weser area in North West Germany. West Stow clearly does not represent straight migration of a single settlement but is part of a movement of peoples. It seems unlikely that all the Anglo-Saxon people on the continent had boats that could bring families, and possibly animals across the North Sea. Is it possible that some enterprising group ran a profitable business running settlers across from the Hook of Holland to Harwich?

8. Pre-Anlgo-Saxon * "Celts - Prior to the Germanic invasions Britain was inhabited by various Celtic tribes who were united by common speech, customs, and religion."

9. * "When Britain gained "independence" from Rome in the year 410ce, the Roman legions withdrew leaving the country vulnerable to invaders. Soon after the withdrawal of Roman troops, inhabitants from the north began attacking the Britons."

10. * "a man named Hengest arrived on the shores of Britain with "3 keels" of warriors in 450ce. This event is known in Latin as the "adventus Saxonum," or the coming of the Saxons."

11. Tribes, yo the intruding population is traditionally divided into Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, but their composition was likely less clear-cut and may also have included Frisians and Franks.
