 Life
in Early Anglo-Saxon Sussex |
||||
 'In this year Aelle came to Britain with his three sons Cymen, Wlencing and Cissa with three ships at the place which is called Cymenesora and there slew many Britons and drove some into flight into the wood which is called Andredsleag' (Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for the year AD 477) |
||||
| The above text, written in the
9th century and actually referring to the year AD 457, is the first literary
account we have of events relating to post-Roman Sussex. For the most
part, we have to rely upon limited archaeological remains in order to
gain some understanding of the changes in society during this turbulent
period. To find out more about life in Sussex during the 5th to 7th centuries AD, please click onto the following links: |
