The Romanised aristocracies continued to rule the various tribes and petty kingdoms. In the warfare between them, they imported mercenaries from Germania, who became so numerous and powerful that they progressively took control, bringing in more of their ilk in the process. This was the Angles, Saxons and Jutes takeover from the Britons, eventually establishing the Germainc petty kingdoms which came to make up England (Angle-land). The Picts, Scots, Welsh and Irish maintained their own areas, but Viking intrusions also impacted on them and particularly the eastern Germanic kingdoms bordering the North Sea.
