Who was the leader of the Angles and Saxons tribe?

Answer 1

I presume you mean the Anglo-Saxons and therefore your question relates to the Kingdom of England, as it was then called, in 1066. The King of England in 1066 was King Edward the Confessorwho ruled for a few days at the start of the year (he had been on the throne since 1042) and died on January 5th. When he died his natural heir, his nephew called Ædgar Ætheling, was considered too young to succeed his uncle (he was about fourteen), so the Witan (the council which advised the king) elected the strongest lord to be king of England. This was Harold Godwinson who was the Earl of Wessex who became King Harold II. Harold II was killed at The Battle of Hastings on 14 October 1066. Following his death the Witan met again and chose the young Ædgar Ætheling to be king. King Ædgar II ruled as king until the 10 December 1066 when he formally submitted to William, Duke of Normandy (known later as William the Conquerer). William then became King William I of England for the remainder of the year. He died in 1087 and was succeeded by his son, William II. Therefore there were four kings of England in 1066, three of whom were Anglo-Saxon. If you mean leader of the Saxons in Germany then the Duke of Saxony (a part of northern Germany) in 1066 was Duke Ordulf Billung.

Answer 2

Alfred the Great

Answer two:This is wrong. It really depends on the question which is a bit vague. The Angles and the Saxons were separate tribes which invaded Great Britain from Angeln and Saxony respectively. Who their original leaders were is not really known apart from in surviving genealogical "king lists" for the various Anglo-Saxon kingdoms which they established. In the case of the Angles, the names Wuffa, Eoppa, Ælla and Icel are given as their progenators of their dynasties. Of the Saxons we have the names Cerdic (who was almost certainly not a Saxon but probably half Welsh and half Saxon), Ælle and Æscwine. The Jutes were established by Hengist and Horsa.

The various small Anglo-Saxon kingdoms which preceeded the unification of England each had many kings. These kingdoms were almost all destroyed by the Vikings in the mid 9th Century. At the end of the 9th Century the kingdom of Wessex under their dynamic king Ælfrēd se Grēata (Alfred the Great) and later by his son and successor Ēadweard se Ieldra (Edward the Elder) drove out the Vikings/Danes and laid down the foundations of the future Kingdom of England. Eventually king Æðelstān(Athelstan) of Wessex was crowned King of the English in 927AD.
