Well the last leader of the Anglo-Saxons was Harold Godwinson who defeated the last proper viking invasion of England (at the battle of Stamford Bridge) only to return south and be defeated by William the Conqueror. Before him it was King Edward, then i forget the rest...

There is a story that Vortigern invited the Anglo-Saxons to England. On the other hand, he may simply have been hiring mercenaries to help him in his conflict with other local leaders.
