After the Fall of Rome

As the Roman Empire faltered and began to fade away, Rome began to withdraw it's troops from it's far flung territories. With Rome's influence gone the territories were left to fend for themselves. Some faltered. Some flourished. None remained the same. Only ruins remained to mark the Roman's passage.
In Britain, with the departure of the Romans, other invading armies rushed in to fill the void. These included the Jutes, the Nomans and the Saxons. Still the descendants of the Romans still clinging to their old roman ways, resisted the invasions for a time. They were led by a great chieftian who would be remembered in history as King Arthur.
