Who invaded England after the Anglo-saxon?

Answer 1

The Vikings invaded Britain after the Anglo-Saxons in 793 CE. They were not the only groups to invade England before the 1066 Norman invasion that created the Plantagenet dynasty.

After the Romans abandoned Britain in the early 5th century CE, the Anglo-Saxons began to migrate to the island. There was no major 'invasion' but various tribes of Angles, Saxons, and Jutes quickly gained control over the Britons. The Viking raids on monasteries began in the late 8th century CE, the first in 793 at Lindisfarne. By the late 9th century, the Vikings controlled most of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. Alfred the Great of Wessex defeated the Vikings in 878.

After England was unified with Norway and Denmark in the 11th century, the Danish king, Cnut, that controlled all three territories died and was succeeded by Anglo-Saxon king Edward the Confessor. Following his death in 1066, Harold Godwinson came to the throne and William, Duke of Normandy invaded Britain that year. William was crowned king after The Battle of Hastings, solidifying the Plantagent dynasty.

Answer 2

After the death of the last Norman King Henry the First, England knew a period of anarchy, commonly called as Reign of Stephen which lasted from1135 to1154.

They were some 19 years of a war of succession led by Stephen of Blois against Matilda, widow of the Emperor and wife of Robert, count of Anjou, nicknamed The Plantagenet.

As both the opposing parties couldn't prevail in the struggle, they reached a compromise: Stephen was to reign until his death and after then Matilda's son Henry was to come to the throne.

That happened in the year 1154. Henry become Henry the Second . With him began the Angevin's dynasty, also called the Plantagenet's dynasty.
