- After the reign of Caesar, the Roman Empire was not so great as before.
- This decline gave the barbarians an opportunity to invade Rome.
- The Roman soldiers in England were back to protect their country.
- After the Roman soldiers had left England, another group of barbarians—The Anglo-Saxon—took advantages of the situation to attack and occupy England.
The Anglo-Saxon consisted of three main groups of people
- The Angles
- The Saxons
- The Jutes
- Around the ninth century, King Alfred the great—a king of the Saxons—led his army to attack other groups of the Anglo-Saxon.
- He united small groups into one great Kingdom, called Engla land.
