THE END
Anglo-saxons had always
had quarrels with the Vikings. The first war was in 793 when Vikings attacked the
monastery and killed many of the monks.
But after king Alfred they
settled down peacefully in a land called Damelaw.
After him there were other
kings that ricaptured the lands where Vikings settled like Edward, Alfred’s son.
Edward’s son conquered territories
almost as far as Scotland. The most powerful king was Edgar who could unite
all the population. After him things went worse and worse with king Ethelred
who tried to stop the Vikings’ invasion with gold but it didn’t work and he had
to flee to France. After more fightings a Dame called Curt became king of England in
1016. He ruled well and after his death in 1035 two of his sons took the
control of England.
In 1042 there was a king
in England: Edward. He was very religious and was called “Edward the confessor”
he often confessed his sues. Edward allowed the English earls (local little cuing)
to become very strong. When in 1066 Edward died the English leader chose Harold
as the next king of England.
Harold had a rival: Duke William
of Normand, that decided to invade England. In 1066 England was invaded twice and
during the battle of Hastings (14 October 1066) Harold was killed and William
became king. The Anglo-Saxon period of history was ended.
