Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The years 500 to 1066 are commonly known as the Anglo-Saxon period of English history because it was during this time that the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes migrated from what is now Germany and Denmark and settled in England. They established their own kingdoms and culture, which had a significant influence on the development of English society and language. The Celtic period (around 750 BC to 12th century AD) predates the Anglo-Saxon period, while the Roman period (43 AD to 410 AD) ended before the start of the Anglo-Saxon period. The term Germanic can be applied to various periods in history, but it is not specific to the Anglo-Saxon period.
