== Britain ==
''Who were the British people at that time? The “Anglo-Saxons”, who were Germanic tribes that conquered England and ruled it in a chaotic manner until the Norman conquest of A.D. 1066 brought order and prosperity to the entire island. The “Anglo-Saxons” were actually a mixture of three different Germanic peoples: the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes. The “Picts” were another group of people who settled Scotland at this time. The greatest Anglo-Saxon ruler was Alfred the Great, who defended Britain from Viking attacks in the A.D. 800s.''
1. No mention of the Celtic British people who were gradually overwhelmed and absorbed by the Anglo-Saxons in what became England (but remained dominant in Wales, Cumbria, Cornwall)?
2. The Anglo-Saxon kingdoms were increasingly sophisticated, and the united England was scarcely 'chaotic'.
3. The Normans did not rule 'the whole island'.
4. The Picts did not 'settle Scotland at this time' but were the indigenous people of northern and eastern Scotland.
