Germanic migrants, mainly from the Angle, Saxon and Jutish tribes, began arriving on the east coast of Albion in the mid-5th century, during the chaos following the Roman withdrawal from the provinces of Britannia. They quickly penetrated into the interior of the island, setting up their own kingdoms and assimilating the local Britons to a Germanic way of life. Despite an early setback at the Battle of Baddon, they soon resumed their conquest of the isle, eventually reaching the Mor Hafren in 577.

abstract	Germanic migrants, mainly from the Angle, Saxon and Jutish tribes, began arriving on the east coast of Albion in the mid-5th century, during the chaos following the Roman withdrawal from the provinces of Britannia. They quickly penetrated into the interior of the island, setting up their own kingdoms and assimilating the local Britons to a Germanic way of life. Despite an early setback at the Battle of Baddon, they soon resumed their conquest of the isle, eventually reaching the Mor Hafren in 577. This put the Britons under extra pressure, as their territories were now divided in two by the sea. In 661 therefore Donyarth ap Culmin, King of Dumnonia, formed an alliance with Visigothic Spain and its client states in Armorica and Lyonesse. Spain sent Dumnonia gold, ships and spearmen, which proved crucial in the conflicts with the Saxons. In 665 the Anglo-Saxon states of southern Albion formed a coalition to destroy Dumnonia once and for all, since it, along with Powys, was one of only two obstacles to complete Saxon dominion over the island. Urgent negotiations with Powys, and other British kingdoms north of the Mor Hafren, persuaded them to assist the Dumnonians, and the Spanish ships allowed their spearmen to cross the sea to intercept the invading Saxon army.
