UK History: Chapter 2, Exercise 2 — Possible Solution ====================================================================== QUALIFICATION 449 is the date in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Bede places the settlement around 450 to 455, the Chronica Gallica of 452 notes Saxon rule in 441, and archaeology suggests settlement began earlier than 450. So 449 is one traditional date among conflicting ones. REWRITE "Sources disagree on when the Anglo-Saxons arrived: the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle says 449, Bede about 450 to 455, and archaeological evidence suggests earlier."
