CHAPTER

The Fall of Rome and Rise of Chaos in England

This chapter explores the transformative period in medieval England following the withdrawal of Roman troops in 410 AD, leading to increased vulnerability from tribal invasions. It contrasts the chaotic environment with the relative stability found in other parts of Europe post-Roman fall and examines the arrival of the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. The discussion also touches on the myth of King Arthur, questioning the historical existence of this legendary figure amidst conflicting narratives of Celtic and Anglo-Saxon history.
