The shores of south-east England, or more precisely those of Kent and East Sussex, have for at least two millennia been threatened by invading forces. Initially it was the Romans, who in turn were challenged by the Saxons. They were succeeded by the Vikings who penetrated to the very heart of the country, resulting in Cnut becoming King of England. William I landed at Pevensey in 1066 to bring the conquering Normans to these shores. Afterwards the French still raided and once they were dissuaded the Spanish and Dutch made various attempts, before the rise of the French again under Napoleon Bonaparte. The Victorian years brought relative peace until the start of the twentieth century heralded the threat from Germany. Throughout this history these shores have been continually attacked by the sea.
