Saxon Migration to 6th Century Britain

In this episode we begin our discussion of Anglo-Saxon history proper with the arrival of the Saxons. Where did they come from? How many people settled in Sub-Roman Britain? And what happened to the Britons when they did? It's a complicated topic but it's also one of the most important events in the history of Britain. Afterwards the island would never be the same again.
