Anglo-Saxon Chronicle

This is the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle! Our most famed of famous ancestors Alfred the Great ordered the creation of a chronicle of the English people from their earliest times onward. This is that chronicle! Each day of posting will cover one day, event or year of the Chronicle.

A.D. 443. This year sent the Britons over sea to Rome, and begged assistance against the Picts; but they had none, for the Romans were at war with Atila, king of the Huns. Then sent they to the Angles, and requested the same from the nobles of that nation.
