The Anglo-Saxon period began with the Roman withdrawal from Britain around 410 CE and ended with the Norman Conquest in 1066.
The events that began and ended the Anglo-Saxon time frame in England are marked by significant historical invasions and conquests. The Anglo-Saxon period started around 410 CE with the withdrawal of the Roman legions from Britain. At this time, Germanic tribes such as the Angles and Saxons began to invade and settle the region, progressively establishing their influence and creating a new social and cultural landscape. This era of Anglo-Saxon dominance continued for several centuries, fostering the development of the English language and culture.
The end of the Anglo-Saxon period was precipitated by the Norman Conquest in 1066, when William the Conqueror, hailing from Normandy, defeated the Anglo-Saxon King Harold II at the Battle of Hastings. This marked the beginning of Norman rule in England, which brought about significant political, social, and linguistic changes and effectively concluded the Anglo-Saxon dominance.

The Anglo-Saxon period began with the Roman withdrawal from Britain around 410 CE and ended with the Norman Conquest in 1066 CE. The withdrawal left Britain open to Germanic invasions, while the Conquest marked the transition from Anglo-Saxon to Norman rule. Both events significantly impacted the course of English history and culture.
