The Saxons had very little difficulty in dominating England as since the Roman time the English preferred the system client tribes, whereby any fighting was done by the Occupier. From this position they were able to fight the British and gain control of Wessex, this was there strongest base
I would say that it was fair to say that England had fallen by 500AD and was converted from Christianity to Paganism. Meanwhile the rest of the country that we call Britain remained Christian and consisted of Wales, the Welsh Marches, West Wales (Cornwall, Devon and the Summerlands) Lancashire, parts of the North and Scottish tribes. The Saxons were under continuous attack by Irish, Angels and Jutes The Roman Catholics invade in 597 and have victory in England by 664.
710 the British lose the Devon coast to the Saxons however Mercia and Wessex remain under constant attack especially from the Danes.
925 King Athelstan writes the Law of England
940 Hywell Dda writes law of Wales
England and Wales declare peace in order to fight the Vikings, Wessex defends from Dorset down to Exeter while the Welsh defend from Exeter and all of Cornwall.
So in reality the Saxons never really controlled all of England and in 1013 they were defeated by Denmark and the Danish King Cnut rules and introduces new laws
So you can see the Saxons never really controlled England but I would suggest 925 is the date you are looking for. The force that attacked and succeeded was the Roman Catholics who achieved final victory in 1120. These lasted until they were defeated by Henry VIII.
