 CELTS                 
From around 750 BC to 43 AD,the Celts were the most powerful people in central and northern Europe. There were many tribes of Celts, speaking a common language. They were mainly farmers, also, a druid was a member of the high-ranking professional class in ancient Celtic cultures.

ROMANS
In 43 A.D. Emperor Claudius decided to invade Britain again. He sent 40,000 troops, who gradually conquered most of the country. The Romans built roads, forts, walls and bridges, which made it easier to travel around England. The remains of these can be seen in many places today.

ANGLO-SAXONS
The Angle, Saxon, and Jute are known as the Anglo-Saxons. The Angles and the Saxon tribes were the largest of the three attacking tribes, so that's why they're called as Anglo-Saxons. They shared the same language but were each ruled by different strong warriors.  The Anglo-Saxons left their homelands in northern Germany and rowed across the North sea to Britain.

VIKINGS
The Vikings lived over one thousand years ago and came from the three countries of Scandinavia: Denmark,Norway and Sweden. 
The Vikings first invaded Britain in AD 793 and last invaded in 1066.

NORMANS

The Normans were the next group of people to rule England after Anglo-Saxons. This, happened thanks to the Norman conquest in 1066 led by William the Conqueror in the battle of Hastings. Also, they brought with them the French language and culture.
