The invasion of
England by Germanic peoples, amongst them
Jutes,
Angles, Frisians
? and
Saxons is collectively known as the Saxon conquest, although this is something of a misnomer. The
Romans had largely abandoned
Britain by the end of the 4th century AD, and the settlement of the east coast of England, which was to lead to a gradual encroachment by these Saxon settlers, was a consequence of displacement of peoples on mainland
Europe.
