Saxon England

Saxon England refers to the period between the 5th and 11th centuries when Germanic tribes like the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes settled and established kingdoms across what is now England, after the decline of Roman control. This era saw the development of distinct regional kingdoms, the spread of Old English language, and the formation of early social and cultural institutions. It was characterized by rural communities, local kings, and, later, increased Christian influence. Saxon England laid the foundation for the nation of England, evolving through periods of conflict, consolidation, and cultural change until the Norman Conquest in 1066.
