Attempts to understand how Roman Britain ends and Anglo-Saxon
England begins have been undermined by the division of studies into
pre-Roman, Roman and early medieval periods. This groundbreaking
new study traces the history of British tribes and British tribal
rivalries from the pre-Roman period, through the Roman period and
into the post-Roman period. It shows how tribal conflict was
central to the arrival of Roman power in Britain and how tribal
identities persisted through the Roman period and were a factor in
three great convulsions that struck Britain during the Roman
centuries. It explores how tribal conflicts may have played a major
role in the end of Roman Britain, creating a 'failed state'
scenario akin in some ways to those seen recently in Bosnia and
Iraq, and brought about the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons. Finally,
it considers how British tribal territories and British tribal
conflicts can be understood as the direct predecessors of the
Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and Anglo-Saxon conflicts that form the basis
of early English History.
