Anglo-Saxon England was not politically unified at first: The country was divided into several independent territories and they all had their own rulers.

Unifying Forces: Alfred the Great King Alfred of Wessex, also known as Alfred the Great led a resistance against the Danes from 871- 899 and unified the Anglo-Saxons into a nation. The Danes were one of the Viking peoples who crossed the North Sea and destroyed everything in their path. Battles with the Danes continued in the 8th and 9th centuries They eventually settled some parts of northeast and central England.

Unifying Forces: Christianity Christianity was also a big part in unifying the Anglo- Saxon England. Continental and Irish missionaries converted kings Kings converted subjects Converting to Christianity allowed the people to have a common faith and system of morality. It also provided a link between England and Europe.

Under Christianity and King Alfred the Anglo-Saxon people worked together to protect their people, their church, and their culture from the plunders of the Danes. The battle between the Danes and the Anglo-Saxons continued until they were both defeated in 1066 by an invading force of Normans from northwestern France.

What three groups invaded? What group did they drive out? What two factors helped unify the Anglo-Saxons?
