Show transcript
While the Picts and Scots attacked Roman Britain by land, seaborne Germanic invaders began to attack the east coast.
The Romans left Britain in 410 CE due to problems elsewhere in the empire and they could no longer maintain control.
With no Romans to defend Britain, Angles, Saxons and Jutes increased their attacks from the sea, pouring into Britain.
These Germanic tribes wanted to migrate to and settle in Britain because of its rich farmland.
Anglo-Saxons were able to defeat the Britons because they were skilled and experienced warriors with fearsome weapons.
