The Danes are coming
Article details the battles from the 6th century between the Anglo Saxons and the Danes. Anglo Saxons arrived in about 600AD . Danes then attacked from the south east and took over in about 800-900AD. The roman roads were used for transport but also enabled hiding places from attackers. In 999AD the English under Edward the Elder king of Wessex, the son of Alfred the Great an Anglo Saxon beat the Danes. All that remains of the Danes now is the ending ‘…by’ in some place names.
