During the Celtic period women may have had more independence than they had again for hundreds of years. When the Romans invaded Britain two of the largest tribes were ruled by women who fought from their chariots. The most powerful Celt to stand up to the Romans was a woman, Boadicea. She had become queen of her tribe when her husband had died. She was tall, with long red hair, and had a frightening appearance. In AD 61 she led her tribe against the Romans. She nearly drove them from Britain, and she destroyed London, the Roman capital, before she was defeated and killed. Roman writers commented on the courage and strength of women in battle, and leave an impression of a measure of equality between the sexes among the richer Celts.
The Anglo-Saxon migrations gave the larger part of Britain its new name, England, "the land of the Angles".

Büyük Millet Meclisine: bu sınırlar içinde tek bir ulus olduğunu düşünmeyin. Bu sınırların içinde Türkler, Çerkezler ve çeşitli Müslüman unsurlar bulunmaktadır. Bu çıkarları ve amaçları bütünüyle birleşmiş kardeş ulusların ulusal sınırıdır... bu sınırı belirleyen madde bizim çok büyük bir ilkemizdir: Bu, anayurdun sınırları içinde yaşayan her bir İslami unsurun tüm ırkını, geleneğini ve yaşam alanını tüm dürüstlüğü ile tanıyan ve karşılıklı olarak kabul eden bir ilkedir. Bu geleneğe ait hiçbir ayrıntı ve açıklama olmaması doğaldır, çünkü ayrıntıları anlatma ve açıklamalar yapmanın zamanı değildir. Allah’ın rızasıyla, varlığımızı kurtardıktan sonra bu kardeşler arasında çözülecek ve halledilecektir.

The Romans could not conquer "Caledonia", as they called Scotland, although they spent over a century trying to do so. At last they built a strong wall along the northern border, named after the Emperor Hadrian who planned it. At the time, Hadrian's wall was simply intended to keep out raiders from the north. But it also marked the border between the two later countries, England and Scotland.
At first the Germanic tribes only raided Britain , but after AD 430 they began to settle. The newcomers were warlike and illiterate. We owe our knowledge of this period mainly to an English monk named Bede, who lived three hundred years later. His story of events in his Ecclesiastical History of the English People has been proved generally correct by archaeological evidence.
It was not until a century late that one of these kings, King Offa of Mercia (757-96) , claimed "kingship of the English". He had good reason to do so. He was powerful enough to employ thousands of men to build a huge dyke, or earth wall, the length of the Welsh border to keep out the troublesome Celts. But although he was the most powerful king of his time, he did not control all of England.
