The Anglo-Saxon Invasion of England took place from the mid-fifth to early seventh centuries, following the end of Roman power in Britain around the year 410. The "monthly" life of the times is illustrated in a series of pictures. 1/12: January aka Wolf-Monat in which the earth is broken by a ploughman using four oxen. The side panels illustrate the collection of fuel, and the two headed Janus representing literal and learned art.
