      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
