The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records the arrival of Hengist and Horsa at Ypwinesfleot (Ebbsfleet in Thanet) in three keels of warriors, summoned by Vortigern to fight the Picts. Their initial landing and mercenary service preceded the revolt that expelled the Romano-British from Kent. Ebbsfleet in Thanet is identified in later tradition as the landing site, though the historical accounts are legendary in character.
