9. 8 Off the west coast of Europe lies a group of islands that never became part of Charlemagne’s empire. Known today as the British Isles, they consist of Great Britain, Ireland, and many smaller islands. Roman legions led by Julius Caesar invaded Britain in 55 B.C. The Romans eventually conquered much of the island and ruled it for almost 400 years. The Romans had difficulties ruling some of the area. A conquered people called Celts were not interested in or influenced by Roman culture. During the 300s A.D. Roman soldiers were called home to defend the empire’s borders against the Germanic invasions. After 410 A.D., the island was overrun by groups from northern Germany and Denmark, called Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. These groups united to become The Anglo-Saxons. They built settlements and set up several small kingdoms. The southern part of Britain soon became known as Angleland, or England. The people became known as the English.
