The Anglo Saxon Era extends from the end of Roman Britain in the early fifth century to the the Norman conquest in 1066. This era lasted over six hundred years and saw a great deal of political and social change, with the arrival of new groups to Britain, including the Angles, Saxons and Vikings. Historians have been very interested in this period, and the many important archaeological finds in recent decades has greatly expanded our understanding of the history of Anglo Saxon Britain.
