The Saxons, Franks, Jutes and other Germanic tribes of north Germany and southern Denmark began to mount pirate raids against the Roman province of Britannia in the 4th century AD (the 300s). These attacks led to the construction of a new chain of large Roman forts around the east and south-east coasts of Britain, which became known as the "Saxon Shore".

Who came to Britain after the Romans?

When the Romans left, England was constantly invaded by the Vikings.The Saxons (from Germany) settled in England after the Romans left, took over the abandoned Roman fortresses and defended England from the Viking invasions. They became the Anglo-Saxons.In 1066 the Normans, led by William the Conqueror stamped out the Saxon rule and took over for himself.So the answer to your question would be the Saxons.The Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes (all of them were from northen Germany) started settling in England before the Romans left. There were waves of migration both before and after the Romans left. The Saxons became the Anglo-Saxons through a fusion with the Angles. Recent archaeology has shown that Frisans (from northern Holland) also settled in England in this period.Roman Britain was not under Viking attacks. It was attacked by the mentioned peoples form the east, the Irish from the west and the Picts form Scotland. The first Viking raid in England was in 789, more than 380 years after the Romans left. The Anglo-Saxon did not need to take over the Roman fortresses to defend England from the Vikings after the Romans left.The answer is the Angles, the Saxons, the Jutes and the Frisians, with the latter two becoming absorbed by the Anglo-Saxons.
