Saxons? Celts? Vikings (if they played a part)? Who were these groups? What were their issues?

Unfortunately, I'm very new to this history and would like a brief starting point, a simple summary in a paragraph of what happened. After that, I think I can hopefully build on it with further reading.
OK, just to get this straight, not everyone on Yahoo answers is a 13-year old teenager who bunks his howmework!

I honestly am totally new to this subject (and if it was my homework, believe me i wouldn't be asking). The truth is I'm looking into later medieval history (10th century onwards), and earlier history of how the english foprmed themselves would be really helpful.

Also, I really wanted to read Bernard Cornwell's 'Arthur' series and would like some clue about what I'm reading before jumping into it!
