Saxon LadyAbout 350 years after the Roman invasion, in the early 5th century AD, the Roman town and villas in Sussex were in decline. The Saxons soon came over from modern day Denmark and Germany and began to settle in Britain. Although many British warlords tried to stop them, the Saxons eventually spread across most of southern Britain. Most of the Saxon objects are found by archaeologists in burials. Saxons often buried people with their belongings.
