RE: In the fifth century the Anglo-Saxons arrived as mercenaries on the mostly Celtic Christian British Isles.
How did that end?
If my history lessons served me right, The Anglo-Saxons, a group of Germanic tribes, began migrating to the British Isles from their homelands in what is now Denmark and northern Germany, around the 5th century AD.
They were initially invited by the Romano-British leader Vortigern to serve as mercenaries and help defend against Pictish invaders. However, they soon began to settle in the region, gradually displacing or assimilating the native Celtic and Romano-British populations.
This period marked the beginning of the Early Middle Ages, also known as the Dark Ages, in Britain.
The Anglo-Saxon period in Britain spans approximately from the 5th to the 11th century AD. It ends with the Norman conquest in 1066. The Anglo-Saxons had a profound impact on the language, culture, and social structure of the region, many of which are still evident today.
So, in our case, who are the equivalent of the Anglo-Saxons?
