Study note
After the Romans left, tribes from northern Europe known as the Anglo-Saxons settled in Britain, and their language is the basis of modern English. Christianity spread during this period through missionaries such as St Augustine and St Columba.
Memory tip: Anglo-Saxons gave us early English; St Augustine and St Columba spread Christianity.
