Who invaded England next?
In the ninth century (Year 800), 400 hundred years after the Anglo-Saxons invaded England, the country came under attack from Viking raiders from Norway and northern Denmark.

Like the Anglo-Saxons, they made there home here. They drove the Saxons out of part of the country and took it for themselves.

King Alfred, Saxon king of Wessex, fought them in a great battle, but he could not drive them right away and had to let them have part of the country, called Danelaw.

Parts of England were now ruled by the Vikings whilst others were ruled by the Saxons.
