Settlement of Britain by Germanic invaders begins || Omnath Dubey

The settlement of Britain by Germanic invaders began in the mid-5th century AD, following the Roman withdrawal from the island. The Germanic tribes who began to migrate to Britain included the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, who were known collectively as the Anglo-Saxons.

The Germanic tribes gradually established their own kingdoms in Britain, as they pushed the Romano-British population to the fringes of the island. The Anglo-Saxons were pagan and had their own customs and traditions, which were very different from those of the Romano-British population, who were Christian and had been heavily influenced by Roman culture.

The early Anglo-Saxon kingdoms were characterized by their warrior aristocracy and their military culture. The Anglo-Saxon kings were warlords who led their warriors in battle, and their society was organized around the idea of fealty and loyalty to the king.

The early Anglo-Saxon kingdoms were also marked by a great deal of political instability and warfare, as rival kings and warlords vied for power and territory. This period is often referred to as the "Dark Ages" due to the lack of written records from this time and the relative lack of cultural and artistic output.

However, the Anglo-Saxons did eventually establish stable kingdoms, such as Wessex and Mercia, which would go on to play important roles in the history of Britain. The Anglo-Saxons also contributed significantly to the culture and language of Britain, and their influence can still be seen today in the English language and in many aspects of British culture.
