When the Romans left Britain in AD 407, the country was taken over by Picts from Caledonia, Angles and Saxons from Germany and Jutes from Denmark. Within 200 years most of England was under Anglo-Saxon rule, divided into seven Kingdoms (countys):- Kent (mostly Jutes), Essex, Sussex, Wessex (Saxons), East Anglia, Mercia and Northumbria(Danes and Vikings). Wessex consisted of Hants, Dorset, Devon, Somerset and Wiltshire. Mercia's boarders varied a great deal but could be said to lie between the Thames and Humber. The capital of Wessex was Winchester and important towns in Mercia were Lichfield, Repton and Tamworth.
