"The Britons, being hard pressed by the Picts and Scots, sent to Germany for help. Two brothers, Hengist and Horsa, came with their warriors. They fought bravely, and the Picts and Scots were driven back. Vortigern, the British king, was so pleased with the brothers that he invited them to stay and gave them land. But soon, more and more Saxons came over, and instead of helping the Britons, they began to take the land for themselves."
