Who did the saxons invade?

There was no single such invasion- the 'Anglo-Saxons' were a race of people who developed into what later became known as the English, over a gradual period of hundreds of years following the withdrawal of Roman occupation in the 4th Century. They grew from successive waves of invasions of England followed intermittently over the following 600 years or so, by Vikings, Danes and Germans (the Germans mostly came from Saxony, which is where the term 'Saxon' comes from). Sometimes they came as warrior squadrons to attack the native Romano-British and Celts, at other times they came in peace to trade and make strategic alliances with some of the English tribes. Eventually, this huge melting-pot of Danish, Scandinavian, German, Romano-British and even Celtic peoples became assimilated into what became the Anglo-Saxon race, through inter-marriage. At first, Anglo-Saxon England was divided into a series of seperate kingdoms ruled by different monarchs, who were often at war with each other- sometimes, one or more of these kingdoms formed alliances against other ones, and were able to get limited support from the Welsh or Scots. England was finally united into one single nation by King Alfred the Great in the 9th Century, who established the Saxon monarchy that ruled over the whole nation until being overthrown by the Norman invasion of 1066.
