England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), Europe

The timeframe of the various parts of England in Britain during the England-MiddleAges (the "Dark Ages") that ran from the end of Roman England (Britannia) in ~490 when the Romans departed to the Battle of Hastings in 1066--England then became known in my tree as "Medieval England"

The Anglo-Saxons (who actually created this age) were a Germanic-speaking cultural group (the Germanic tribes) who had migrated from nearby northwestern Europe to the southern half of the island of Great Britain; they, their descendants and the indigenous British groups (who adopted many aspects of Anglo-Saxon culture and language) became the group

They then established the Kingdom of England and the modern English language owes almost half of its words-including the most common words of everyday speech-to their language

The establishment of various Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and the many shires in the 5th and 6th centuries which conventionally are identified as seven kingdoms: Northumbria, Mercia, East Anglia, Essex, Kent, Sussex, and Wessex

Their Christianization during the 7th century was changed in 927 when it was united as the Kingdom of England by King Æthelstan… it became part of the short-lived North Sea Empire of Cnut the Great, a personal union between England, Denmark and Norway in the 11th century

The threat of Viking invasions and Danish settlers and the gradual unification of the various kingdoms of England under the Wessex hegemony during the 9th and 10th centuries ended with the Norman conquest of England by William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066
