The early Anglo-Saxons invaded and settled Sub-Roman Britain in the 5th and 6th centuries AD, during the European "migration period". The various kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy emerged in the course of the 6th century: the kingdoms of Kent, Northumbria (Bernicia and Deira) and Lindsey probably along pre-existing boundaries, while the westerly kingdoms of Wessex and Mercia show little sign of continuity.
