Did The Anglo-Saxons Really Invade Post-Roman Britain? | Britain AD | Timeline Classics

The conventional story of Britain’s history suggests a decline into lethargy after the Romans left followed by a revival due to an Anglo-Saxon invasion. But there isn’t actually any archeological evidence to support this theory. The Sutton Hoo discovery, for example doesn’t point to any conclusive evidence of a specific origin or invasion. Was the invasion myth created to explain the origin of the Anglo-Saxon kings? Timeline Classics is a curated home for the very best of Timeline’s extensive catalog of history documentaries.
