[[Wool]] and common natural colours predominated, although for the upper classes more exotic [[dye]]s and [[fabric]]s were often used.

	At the beginning of the [[6th century]] England was populated by Brythonic [[Celt]]s and a migrant population of [[Angle]]s, [[Saxon]]s and [[Dane]]s. These groups gradually encroached, supported by further immigration from mainland [[Europe]], displacing the British population. With the remnants of Celtic power pushed to the west in [[Wales]], [[Cumbria]] and [[Cornwall]], numerous [[Anglo-Saxon]] [[kingdom]]s began to emerge. The seven most powerful, known as the [[Heptarchy]], were successively united by [[war]], until in 829 [[Egbert]] was named [[King]] of all England.
