Anglo-Saxon: This period covers the time from the period that the Roman’s left, generally considered to be 410 AD up until the Norman Conquest of 1066. A very interesting period with the migration of the Germanic tribes of Angles, Saxons, Jutes and others. It was also during this time that we had the Christianisation of Britain as well as the Viking invasions.
This time is also described as The Early Middle Ages.
