Anglo Saxon Period and Middle Ages, PLZ HELP?
The history of Anglo-Saxon England covers the history of England from the end of Roman Britain and the establishment of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in the fifth century until the Norman conquest of England in 1066. Anglo-Saxon is a general term that refers to tribes of German origin who came to Britain, including Angles, Saxons, Frisians and Jutes. As the Roman occupation of Britain was coming to an end, Constantine III withdrew the remains of the army, in reaction to the barbarian invasion of Europe.[1][2] The Romano-British leaders were faced with an increasing security problem from sea borne raids, particularly by Picts on the East coast of England.[3] The expedient adopted by the Romano-British leaders was to enlist the help of Anglo-Saxon mercenaries (known as foederati), to whom they ceded territory.[3][4] In about AD 442 the Anglo-Saxons mutinied, apparently because they had not been paid.[5] The British responded by appealing to the Roman commander of the Western empire Aëtius for help (a document known as the Groans of the Britons), even though Honorius, the Western Roman Emperor, had written to the British civitas in or about AD 410 telling them to look to their own defence.[6][7][8][9] There then followed several years of fighting between the British and the Anglo-Saxons.[10] The fighting continued until around AD 500, when, at the Battle of Mount Badon, the Britons inflicted a severe defeat on the Anglo-Saxons
