Anglo-Saxon Settlements

The Anglo-Saxons needed farm land. Britain was fertile land. Some Anglo-Saxons came to Britain to find land for farming. They came in groups on ships, and each group became a settlement. They brought with them tools, weapons, and farm animals.

Sometimes Anglo-Saxons were in battles against the Britons. The legendary King Arthur supposedly helped fight off Anglo-Saxons coming into Britain. Some came peaceably, but some came wanting to fight.

Over time Anglo-Saxons took over most of Britain, but not Scotland or Wales. They brought with them their own language, replacing the Latin of Roman Britons. This new language became Old English. The part of Britain taken over by the Anglo-Saxons became England.
