Vortigern The Vortigen was the king of Britain but he faced great difficulty organising an army to stop the invaders who were very powerful and excellent fighters. He worried they would take over in Britain. He asked two brothers called Hengest and Horsa from Jutland (in Denmark) to come and fight for him and keep the invaders out.

  4. Hengest and Horsa Hengest and Horsa were happy to help and kept the invaders out. However the men liked what they found in Britain and decided that they wanted to stay and take land for themselves. They brought more warriors and over time they began to settle around Britain pushing the Brits further and further out!

  5. The Anglo-Saxons The brothers and their warriors weren’t the only ones who wanted Britain. Other German tribes had also been invading Britain for some time. These invaders are called The Anglo-Saxons because the two biggest invading tribes were the Angles and the Saxons.
