Best Answer

The earliest "invaders" were the Neolithic Beaker People, who probably originated in the area that later became Portugal and arrived in Britain some time around 2,500 BC.

Another invasion was by Celtic Belgae tribes from Gaul (modern France) into parts of southern Britain, at some time around 50 BC.

The Romans made their successful conquest of parts of Britain starting in 43 AD.

When the Roman government of the province of Britannia was removed in 411 AD, the vacuum was gradually filled by immigrants from north Germany and southern Denmark. For convenience these people are called "Anglo-Saxons" but in reality they consisted of Jutes, Franks, Frisians, Wends, Angles, Saxons and others.
