Advent of the Angles

About Advent of the Angles

Britain 429 AD. Almost two decades have elapsed since Britain gained its independence from Rome. After initial devastation, people have begun to rebuild their lives. Family life continues as they make the most of their new circumstances. But there are still threats to their survival. Pict and Saxon pirates sail the seas, raiding unwary coastal villages, seeking gold and slaves; Anglian sailors cross the sea to settle; while Britain is still not immune from interference from the Roman Empire. Fights erupt between the different tribes of Britain and when Count Constantius returns from a failed rebellion in Armorica, he looks at the surrounding lands for any opportunity to expand his power. King Coel of Elmet holds out the hand of friendship to others to foster trade. But are Picts, Angles, Saxons and Romans his enemies or should he arm Elmet against his fellow Britons.
