        Its been invaded

        Sure you know this, but pushing back on the "Anglo-Saxon invasion" idea. Lotta scholarship argues that it was a haphazard migration and not a coordinated invasion like Rome or the Normans.

          I did also say and settled there, but yes you're right the Anglo-Saxon migration wasn't really invasion. Its funnier to pretend Britain was invaded 4 seperate times in the span of 1000 years though

      Remind me to tell ya about the migrations and settlements of the Irish in west Scotland and Wales and their relationship with Picts in Ulster, and Saxon kings sometime
