Q1: What were the British like?

[Answer]

The British were the people who lived in Britain when the Romans left.

They had not been allowed to develop fighting skills while the Romans ruled. So, when the Romans left they could not defend themselves against the attacks on their land from the north and west.

They needed help, and they chose to pay the Anglo-Saxons to fight for them against the Irish and the Scots.
