Roman Britain

The Romans were the first to invade us and came to Britain nearly 2000 years ago. They changed our country. The Roman Empire made its mark on Britain, and even today, the ruins of Roman buildings, forts, roads, and baths can be found all over Britain.
Britain was part of the Roman Empire for almost 400 years! By the time the Roman armies left around 410 AD, they had
established medical practice, a language of administration law and had created great public buildings and roads. Many English words are derived from the latin language of the Romans.

Anglo-Saxon Britain
The Roman army left Britain about AD 410. When they had gone there was no strong army to defend Britain, and tribes called the Angle, Saxon, and Jute (the Anglo-Saxons) invaded. They left their homelands in northern Germany, Denmark and northern Holland and rowed across the North Sea in wooden boats.

The Anglo-Saxons ruled most of Britain but never conquered
Cornwall in the south-west, Wales in the west, or Scotland in the north. They divided the country into kingdoms.
Missionaries from Roman spread Christianity across southern Britain.
