The Struggle for Britannia
The Year
1065 A.L
The year 1060 was a bad year as Britannia was ravaged from the seas. They came from lands afar, savage raiders and land wasters. Proudly the tribes fought to defend the land, Savage battles raged across large areas of the land as the brave defenders of the sacred isle held firm against these usurpers.
The year 1061 saw larger conflicts and heavy raids and lands were conquered in the North, wild beserk troops came with a fury unknown demanding Gems,Gold and jewels. Tributes were paid to appease these savages or slaves were made of the inhabitants who resisted.
The year 1062 raiders approached from the east and west, though less frequent the general population could no longer support a large Fyrd, and this saw the Anglo – Saxon and Welsh inhabitants withdraw to an area of strength as the raiders laid waste and claim to more lands, settling amongst the populace were they held support, ruling with fear.
The year 1063 was relatively peaceful. As now those raiders had become settlers, farming and raising families. Warlords sat on their thrones each in their seat of power carved out by fire and conquest, subjugation and tyranny.
The year 1064 saw the start of the troubles minor warlords raising armies and raiding neighbouring lands as each laid a claim to being the true ruler of Britannia. This once peaceful Isle was now a wild and ill disciplined land. Pacts were made and broken and battles raged throughout the lands again.
