What are the Anglo-Saxons

The Anglo-Saxon (Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Saxon) people are usually referred to as a number of culturally and customarily similar peoples, belonging to a group of Germanic peoples, who lived in the eastern and southern parts of the island of Great Britain between the beginning of the fifth century AD and the Norman Conquest of 1066.

They spoke a Germanic dialect and are considered by the historian Bede to be descended from three powerful Western European peoples-the Angles and Jutes, who originated from the Jutland peninsula, and the Saxons, who came from Lower Saxony.
