D. and ends at the year 1066 A. D. when the Normans, led by William the Conqueror, defeated the Anglo-Saxons at the battle of Hastings.

These tribes were the Anglos, the Saxons and the Jutes, whose people later on became known as the Anglo-Saxons. They arrived to the island in boats with a need for land.

Mohandas K.

They gradually came into contact with the Varangians, bands of Scandinavian warriors and traders. Though defeated and briefly exiled by the local population, the Varangians were later asked to return and helped to form a polity—commonly referred to as the Kievan Rus'—in exchange for tribute.
