At the time there was no 'England', but the departure of the Romans led to incursions by Saxon raiders. These Saxons fought the Britons (some say the Britons were led by King Arthur in this era) and eventually set up their own kingdoms - like Wessex, which comes from 'West Saxon'. The English people are considered Anglo-Saxon today becuase of the turmoil, war, intermarriage and general genetic and cultural MASH-up which occured from the time the romans left up until the middle ages. England gained Saxon place names, some folklore, and a distinct character which owes little to the Roman occupation simply because without the protection of the Legions of Rome the whole political and social fabric of that part of Europe was plunged into raiding and warfare for years - arguably making the English tougher as a consequence!

Where did the break from rome take place?

The break from Rome, known as the English Reformation, primarily took place in England during the 16th century. It was initiated by King Henry VIII's desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, which the Pope refused to grant. This led Henry to establish the Church of England in 1534, separating it from the authority of the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church. The dissolution of monasteries and the establishment of Protestant beliefs followed, significantly altering England's religious landscape.
