A.D. 449. This year Marcian and Valentinian assumed the empire, and
reigned seven winters. In their days Hengest and Horsa, invited by
Wurtgern, king of the Britons to his assistance, landed in Britain
in a place that is called Ipwinesfleet; first of all to support the
Britons, but they afterwards fought against them. The king directed
them to fight against the Picts; and they did so; and obtained the
victory wheresoever they came. They then sent to the Angles, and
desired them to send more assistance. They described the
worthlessness of the Britons, and the richness of the land. They
then sent them greater support. Then came the men from three powers
of Germany; the Old Saxons, the Angles, and the Jutes... From
Anglia, which has ever since remained waste between the Jutes and
the Saxons, came the East Angles, the Middle Angles, the Mercians,
and all of those north of the Humber. Their leaders were two
brothers, Hengest and Horsa, who were the sons of Wihtgils;
Wihtgils was the son of Witta, Witta of Wecta, Wecta of Woden. From
this Woden arose all our royal kindred, and that of the
Southumbrians also. - The Anglo Saxon ChronicleAnd so the Saxons
came to Britain. Vortigern, who betrayed them, fell, and in time
they took all the land in the east so that the dominion of the
Britons was divided, and the Britons driven back in their kingdoms
of Dumnonia, Powys, Gwent, Elmet and Brigantia. From these
conquered lands rose Anglia, Ceint and Mierce. With them came new
kings: Guercha One-Eye of the Angles, Aelle - the Bretwalda, and
now, to challenge them both, Cerdic and his sons.The Saxons bring
new Gods and new Magic. They come to conquer and settle. They come
to claim what Vortigern promised and failed to deliver. But most of
all, they come to fight.Mythic Britain: Logres is a companion
