Overall, The Anglo Saxon Chronicle is an important historical document that provides a unique perspective on the early history of England.The first inhabitants were the Britons, who came from Armenia, and first peopled Britain southward. Then happened it, that the Picts came south from Scythia, with long ships, not many; and, landing first in the northern part of Ireland, they told the Scots that they must dwell there. But they would not give them leave; for the Scots told them that they could not all dwell there together.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
