True. However, since the Romans had been the military in Britain, and except for auxilia, the Britons were not allowed to have an army, they were much easier pickings for the incoming Europeans. They had lost the structure and organization that had made them such a difficult adversary for the Romans.
Not to say they were weaklings, of course. But military training and materiel, and soldierly discipline were needed to resist the Germanics, Vikings, etc who began to move on what they believed was an unprotected land. Those things went missing over the 4 or 5 centuries of Roman protection.
