The Angl Saxons were Germanic tribes who invaded the south and east of Great Britain from around 400 AD to 1066 AD.

They were decedents of 3 Germanic tribes:

  • The Angles, who may have come from Angeln (in modern Germany). The name 'England' (Anglo-Saxon 'Engla land' or 'Ængla land') originates from this tribe.
  • The Saxons, from Lower Saxony.
  • The Jutes, from the Jutland peninsula (in modern Denmark)
