What key events happened at the end of the Roman Empire?
The Romano soldiers weren’t getting paid, so they decided to stop defending the land. 3 tribes settled after the Romans – the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes.They came to settle because Gildas the Monk wrote recounts about the fall of the Romans.
How was Anglo-Saxon England ruled after the settlement of the Angles, Jutes and Saxons? Anglo-Saxon England was split up into seven kingdoms: Wessex, Sussex, Essex, Northumbria, Mercia, East Anglia, Kent.
Each kingdom had its own King. These Kings did not get along and each was striving to have power, influence and lots of money.The kingdoms fought many times.
How did Anglo-Saxon life change after the arrival of the Vikings? The Vikings were mainly Christians and carried out raids. They raided monasteries for gold and to take people as slaves. Vikings travelled from Scandinavia to Britain. They mostly settled in the Danelaw, to the north and east of England. Some Norwegian Vikings or 'Norse' sailed to Scotland. The Viking forces were led by a Norse chief named Ragnar.
