The Oxford Experience Summer School
The Making of England
19 - 25 July 2009
course tutor: David Beard MA
Between the fifth century and the eleventh century AD, Britain was the target for three groups of foreign settlers: the Anglo-Saxons, the Vikings and the Normans. The nature of these settlements and the effect they had on the development of England varied considerably, but they each played a major role in shaping the country and contributed to the making of England.
