Ответ: there were Anglo-Saxon raids and settlements

In the chaotic centuries after the Romans left Britain in 410 AD, the country changed into many small kingdoms, (1) there were Anglo-Saxon raids and settlements. During this time, the Anglo-Saxons came from across the North Sea, using the rivers and estuaries of eastern and southern Britain as their main routes. These waterways provided safer travel compared to the few secure roads available. The Anglo-Saxons created new kingdoms, engaging in fierce battles both among themselves and against the local Britons.

Slowly, the smaller kingdoms merged into larger ones. As successful kings rewarded their warriors with gold and glory, (2) leading to the formation of seven, and eventually four, main Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in England.

Indeed, (3) the largest of these; Northumbria was the Anglo-Saxon kingdom north of the Humber. At its height, it was the largest and most powerful Anglo-Saxon kingdom. Moreover, as Bede, one of the most known writers of the era, lived there his whole life, it is the best-documented kingdom until the 8th century. Northumbria's history shows how smaller kingdoms combined to form larger ones; it was created through the forced union of Bernicia, with its royal stronghold at Bamburgh, and Deira, which was centered around the old Roman city of York.

According to old king lists, Bernicia was founded in 547 by a king named Ida, which is why the kings of Bernicia were called the Idings. For fifty years, the Idings fought hard to keep control of the coast (4) holding them from Bamburgh to Lindisfarne. Just when it seemed they would be defeated, one of the besieging kings killed his rival, allowing the Idings to escape and return to Bamburgh.

Not long after this, around 593, Æthelfrith became king and proved to be one of the most successful warrior kings. He won several major battles against the Britons and united Deira with Bernicia to create Northumbria. Under his rule, Northumbria became the strongest kingdom in Britain. Although Æthelfrith was killed in battle in 616, his successor Edwin strengthened the kingdom and expanded its territory. Edwin was also the first northern Anglo-Saxon king (5) who died, but before he could fully establish Christianity in his kingdom, he was killed in battle as well.

After a period of chaos, Æthelfrith's son Oswald returned from exile to take the throne. A devoted Christian, Oswald invited monks from Iona to spread Christianity, and they established a monastery on Lindisfarne. Northumbrian power continued (6) to expand and later under Oswiu's son Ecgfrith. However, in 685, Northumbria faced a terrible defeat against the Picts, a tribe that had long attempted to dominate in that area. Ecgfrith...
