The three most significant Germanic peoples who took over Britain were the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes.
After the Roman legions left before 410 CE, the British celtic kinglings hired these Germans as mercenaries in the warfare against each other. The mercenaries realised that the place was ripe for the plucking, brought their kinsman over in increasing numbers, and supplanted the Romanised-British rulers.
It became known as Angleland (England) after the largest Germanic tribe; from the largest two peoples of these migrants comes the generic title Anglo-Saxon.
