In 383 a usurper emperors Magnus Maximus took a large portion of Roman legions in Britain to Gaul to fight the legitimate emperor. In 401 or 402, Stilicho, the commander-in-chief of the army of the western part of the Roman Empire, withdrew more troops from Britain to help fight an invasion of Italy by the Visigoths. When the Vandals, Sueves and Alans invade Gaul in 406 three were revolts in Britain in which a series of usurper emperors were elevated and quickly deposed. Finally Constantine III was proclaimed Emperor. The revolts were due to fears that Britain could be invaded as well and that the island needed its own strong leader. In 407 Constantine III went to Gaul to fight the legitimate emperor. He was defeated in 409. It is thought that he took the remaining legion in Britain.
These events significantly reduced the size of the Roman population in Britain and also left Britain unprotected while she was being continually raided by the Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians. In 409 or 410, feeling that they had been left without help, the Romano-Britons and some of the Britons expelled Roman civilian administration.
The Romans left Britain, because the Rhine had frozen over and huge amounts of Germanic Tribes were pouring across the border. Constantine III gathered the Roman Army of Britain across the channel in open rebellion against Rome. This was a rebellion because he declared himself emperor and expanded his empire to include Britain, Gaul, and Spain. Ultimately his empire failed and crumpled into nothing.
The Romans left Britain in 476 A.D.
The Britons expelled their Roman magistrates in 409 CE, having lost the protection of the army, which was taken by Constantine III to Gaul in 407 CE to establish himself as Western Roman Emperor. Facing invasion by Picts, Irish and Saxons, the British cities appealed to Emperor Honorius for aid. Honorius was trapped in Ravenna with the tidal wave of Goths sweeping through Italy, and responded by telling the cities to fend for themselves. It is uncertain whether the appeal preceded or followed the expulsion of the magistrates.
The Romans were forced to leave England because of barbarian invasions at home. They needed all their troops and resources on the home front.
