Traditionally, the date when the Anglo-Saxons first invaded Britain was in 449AD. The event is known as the Adventus Saxonum but it was not an invasion at first; they were invited in by the Britons to serve as mercenary soldiers against the Scots and the Picts.

Also, it was neither Angles nor Saxons who "invaded" in 449, rather Jutes, who went on to rebel against their British masters and conquered and colonised Kent (by about 460AD).

The Angles and the Saxons followed the Jutes and by around 500AD had conquered the whole eastern seaboard of Britain setting up a number of kingdoms.

The Britons (known to the Anglo-Saxons as "Welsh") fought against the Anglo-Saxons in an attempt to drive them out of England until the death of Cadwallon ap Cadfan, last High King of Britain, in 634AD. The Britons would hold out in Cornwall until about 850AD and in north Wales until 1283.
