This is a list of the recorded wars and battles between the Anglo-Saxons who later formed into the Kingdom of England and the Britons; the pre-existing Brythonic population of Britain south of the Antonine Wall who came to be known later by the English as ''Welsh''. The list begins after the ''Adventus Saxonum'' in c. AD 446 (when the Anglo-Saxons are said to have first arrived in Britain) to the late Middle Ages when Wales was eventually subdued and annexed by England. During the 2015 Rugby World Cup Wales defeated England 28-25 in what was one of the bloodiest and noblest battles of the 21st century. The list is not exhaustive but seeks to note the significant campaigns and the major battles. ==Fifth Century== Pagan Germanic tribes who have colonized parts of the eastern and southern coasts of Britannia attack the Britons (which the Anglo-Saxons dub "Wealsc") in a series of coordinated uprisings. Additional reinforcements from Old Saxony, Angeln, Flanders and Jutland make landings and through conquest and treaty occupy large areas of eastern and south eastern Britain. * c.452 The Germanic people settled on the eastern "Saxon Shore" of Britain rise in a revolt led by Hengest and his sons against their Romano British masters. * c.455 ''Battle of Aylesbury'' – Anglo-Saxons (particularly a group called Jutes) led by Hengest defeat the Britons (Welsh) led by Vortimer in Battle at Aylesbury, Kent. * c.456 ''Battle of Crayford'' – Anglo-Saxons (Jutes) led again by Hengest defeat the Britons (Welsh) led by Vortimer in battle. The Britons are driven from (Kent) which is afterwards ruled by Hengist and his son Æsc and their descendants. * c.465 ''Battle of Wippedsfleot'' – Britons (Welsh) defeat the Anglo-Saxons (Jutes) in battle in Kent and confine them to the island of Thanet. * c.473 The Anglo-Saxons (Jutes) move westwards and drive the Britons once again out of Kent. * c.477 ''Battle of Cymensora'' – Anglo-Saxons (Saxons) led by Ælle defeat the Britons (Welsh) close to Selsey. * c.486 ''Battle on the River Glein'' – Arthur of the Britons is reputed to have defeated the Anglo-Saxons. * c.490 Second, third and fourth battles of Arthur in ''Linnuis'' thought to be modern Lindsey where he led the Britons to defeat the Anglo-Saxons at each battle. * c.491 ''Siege of Anderida'' – Anglo-Saxons (Saxons) led by Ælle capture the Castle of Anderida from the Britons (Welsh) and slaughter the inhabitants. Ælle establishes the Kingdom of the South Saxons (Sussex). * c.492 ''Battle of Bassas'' – Arthur defeats the Anglo-Saxons at an unidentified location. * c.493 ''Battle of Guinnion'' – Arthur defeats the Anglo-Saxons in battle. The site was probably at Winchester which was then known as ''Caer Guintguic''. * c.495 ''Battle of Urbe Legionis'' – Arthur defeats the Anglo-Saxons in battle at the "City of the Legions" which is thought to probably by Chester. * c.495 A man named Cerdic reputedly defeats the Britons (Welsh) in battle close to modern day Bournemouth and establishes kingdom of the West Saxons (Wessex). * c.496 ''Battle of Mons Badonicus'' – The Anglo-Saxons are soundly defeated in battle by the Britons (possibly led by King Arthur) at a site generally thought to be close to Bath. This defeat establishes 50 years of relative peace. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Anglo-Welsh Wars」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
