 | | However, in 449 following a particularly devastating raid in the north from the Picts and their allies the Romano-British administration invited two Jutish warlords - namely Hengist and Horsa - to occupy the island of Thanet in north Kent and act as mercenaries against the Picts at sea. | | | Most have left since World War II, many of them during the 1970s and 1980s due to the Romanianisation policies of the Ceauşescu regime. | | | The Saxons were considered by Charlemagne, and some historians, to be especially war-like and ferocious. |

| | Regia Anglorum - The Saxons |
| | This is how the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, and the later Anglo-Saxons viewed the first arrival of 'their' people from the migrations from Germany following the collapse of the Roman Empire, effectively legitimising their claim to the land. | | | This had a knock-on effect according to several continental sources who suggest that the expansion switched to northern Frankia, tempting Germanic peoples to leave England for easier gains there. | | | Whatever the nature of the influx of these new peoples, it's a fact that it did not happen overnight and that it was not entirely conflict. |

| | Later historians identified a 'Heptarchy' of Seven Kingdoms from about this time (though this is, in fact, something of an over-simplification of a complex political situation). | | | In 738, for example, the English missionary, St Boniface, has the continental Saxons saying of the English: 'We are of one blood and one bone' - a fact which he employs in convincing his fellow countrymen to support his mission to these still-pagan peoples. | | | Vortigern hired yet more Saxons to consolidate his position; According to one story, he married the daughter of their commander and handed him land in eastern Britain. |

| | West Saxon writers regularly speak of their own nation as a part of the Angelcyn and of their language as Englisc, while the West Saxon royal family claimed to be of the same stock as that of Bernicia in the north. | | | We need not doubt that the Angles and the Saxons were different nations originally; but from the evidence it seems likely that they had practically coalesced in very early times, perhaps even before their invasion of Great Britain. | | | From that time until the 9th century, they coalesced into a single people, the Anglo-Saxons, which in turn formed the basis for the modern day English nation and language. |
