Legend tells that in 449 AD the two brothers Hengist and Horsa (Stallion and Horse) landed with three boats in England and began the Anglo-Saxon conquest of Celtic England.

The Celtic Britons had in fact asked the continental Anglo-Saxons to support their struggle against the aboriginal Picts in Scotland.

As reported by Beda in 730 Angles, Saxons and Jutes had participated in the conquest.

The Angles dwelt in the Ouse-region and on the English north-eastern coasts while the Saxons took their lodgings along River Thames. The Jutes found their home in Kent.

In the next three hundred years male Celtic Britons were increasingly excluded from reproduction while Celtic women were married by Anglo-Saxons. The Celtic population either moved to the hilly west or even exiled to the French Bretagne. English Anglo-Saxons were the new leaders that formed seven realms led by kings: Kent, Sussex, Wessex, Essex, East Anglia, Mercia and Northumbria.

Answer

The short answer is that the Anglo-Saxon tribes moved into the Roman Province of Britannia after the Roman legions withdrew around 410 AD. They fought against the native Britons a number of whom fled to the Roman Province of Gaul (now France) and settled in Brittany which takes it's name from these Briton refugees.

Answer

The Anglo-Saxons and jutes and other Nordic Germanic people didn't invade England, England was founded by them many English deny that they are Nordic peoples which i think is a shame because the vast majority are, over 51 percent of English people have blond hair blue eyes which blond was a gene originating in Scandinavia , and even more a Germanic English surname, the Normans were Nords from Denmark also the hole concept that English people are diverse is a load of crap all of these listed tribes are from a common northern European Germanic ethnicity when it comes down to it the Celtic influence in England is very weak and overrated in Cornwall thousands of years they have had influences of Germanic English people moving there, same with the welsh and Irish and Scottish it just a shell they have saying their Celtic, no ethnicity was made by one tribe an ethnicity is multiple tribes from a COMMON background unite like the Anglo-Saxons Jutes Normans vikings are all Germanic peoples related that settled in England to make it what it is today. technically speaking were just a homogeneous as Norway.

Additional information you may find useful

The English language evolved from a dialect of western Germanic from Friesland in the Netherlands' made universal in Anglo-land under Alfred the Great who in the 9th Centaury AD started the process of uniting the seven English speaking kingdoms which lead to the creation of England under his grandson King Athelstan in 927AD.

The Normans (meaning North Men) came from Norway (meaning North Sea way) and settled in the north of France in a place they called Normandy (meaning land of the north men). They invaded Anglo-Saxon England in 1066 were under the leadership of Duke William of Normandy they defeated King Harold, son of Godwin, at The Battle of Hastings. This is the arguably the most famous event in English history.

And contrary to the belief of small minority of ignoramuses the English are well aware of their Celtic, Romano-Briton, Anglo, Saxon, Jute, Frisian, Danish Viking, Norse Viking and Norman ancestry and proud of it. It is in fact what makes us English!
