Is the bold sentence correct?

Anglo-Saxon conquered England in the fifth century. Then, Normans came in eleventh century. I always wonder who was there before Anglo-Saxon? Anglo-Saxon conquered England from whom?

Hi,

You don't conquer some place from somebody. You conquer some place or you conquer somebody.

eg Who did the Anglo-Saxons conquer in England?

Best wishes, Clive
