Timelines Jeremy Hunter OLD AND MIDDLE ENGLISH c.410 Roman legions withdrew from Britain (in Latin: Britannia) 449 Jutes (from Denmark) occupied Kent (south-east England) under Hengest 477 First invasion of England by Saxons (from northern Germany) under Aelle: south Saxon colony of Sussex established 495 Second Saxon invasion, under Cerdic; west Saxon colony of Wessex established 537 Death of King Arthur, leader of the early sixth-century revolt by the native Britons against continental colonisers: retreat of many Britons in this period to Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany. The geographical term ‘Great Britain’ originates in the sixth century, as later rulers from France were obliged to distinguish between Brittany (‘Bretagne’) and the island of ‘Britannia’, which they called ‘Grande Bretagne’ 547 Norwegians (Vikings), under Ida, established the colony of Northumbria, in northern England 565 Introduction of Christianity to Britain by Saint Columba 597 Saint Augustine established the first Catholic mission in England, at Canterbury 664 Synod of Whitby confirmed Catholicism as the state religion Eighth century Rise in political influence of Mercia, in the mid-west of England (particularly under King Offa, reigned 757– 795). Colonisers established a ‘heptarchy’ of seven kingdoms – Northumbria, Mercia, East Anglia, Essex, Kent, Sussex, Wessex – to encourage harmony and cooperation. ‘Offa’s Dyke’ built to restrict native Britons to land within Wales
544 Timelines 802 Egbert of Wessex became leader of the ‘heptarchy’: in the next few years, Wessex subjected Essex, Kent, and Sussex, thereby controlling the whole of southern England. Egbert is sometimes called the first King of England; certainly, the establishment of an Anglo-Saxon national identity can be dated to the early ninth century, as the old colonisers became fully integrated with the native English 866 The Danish ‘Great Army’ (also called Vikings) landed in East Anglia, taking control of East Anglia, Northumbria, and much of Mercia 871 Alfred (the Great) became King of Wessex: he led Anglo- Saxon revolt against Scandinavian invaders 878 Battle of Edington: boundary of Danish-held territory in England (‘the Danelaw’) fixed to the north-east of a line from London to Chester. Political disputes between the English and the Danes were resolved by 885 Tenth century English forces slowly resumed control of most territories occupied by Danish colonisers 973 Edgar of Wessex proclaimed first King of all England, including the Danelaw. He was succeeded by Ethelred in 978 c.990 Danish armies, under Sven (or Sweyn), invaded southern England; another long territorial dispute followed. King Ethelred (nicknamed ‘the Unready’) left for France in 1013 1016 Canute, son of Sweyn, became King of England after the death of Ethelred, and married Ethelred’s widow, Emma of Normandy 1035 Death of Canute; Danish succession guaranteed with the execution of the English ‘pretender’, Alfred 1040 Macbeth became King of Scotland on the death of Duncan 1042 Death of Hardicanute, the last Danish king of England. Peaceful restoration of the English monarchy, with Edward (‘the Confessor’), son of Ethelred and Emma, who had been brought up in northern France (Normandy) 1045 King Edward married the daughter of the English baron, Godwin, but did not produce an heir. Godwin (who died in 1053) feared the influence of the Norman court. The succession was much disputed in the 1050s and 1060s: the king’s nephew Edward (‘the Outlaw’) died before his uncle, leaving a son, Edgar, as ‘pretender’.
