Who conquered Britain before 1066?

The Celts took it away from whatever people might have been there before them. The Romans conquered the Celts in the first century A.D.. After the Romans withdrew in the fifth century the Angles, Saxons and other Germanic tribes gradually conquered the Celts again and melded together to become the English. Most of England except for Wessex was conquered by the Danes in the 9th century. the Wessaxons gradually drove them out in the 10th though. The Danes however reinvaded in the early 11th century and their King Canute became King of England in 1016. He gradually rediced the number of Danes at his court though and raised Englishmen to high positions. His sons Harold and Hardecanute succeeded him. They were succeeded by Harold the Confessor who was the son of the last native English king. There was some agreement that if he died without a son the throne would go back to the Danes so when Harold of Saxony succeeded to the throne the Danish king Harald invaded. The English beat the Danes before having to face the William at Hastings. Michael Montagne Actually, not Harold but Edward the Confessor, who was a direct male descendant of Alfred the Great. He was succeeded by Harold II Godwinnsson, son of the Earl of Wessex. It was he that beat Harald Hardraade at Stamford Bridge, before the long march south to a place called Battle, 10 miles out of Hastings, near Senlac.
