Anglo-Saxon details

Most English people are Anglo-Saxons. Anglo-Saxon is a branch of ancient Germanic tribes, which originally lived in jutland, Denmark and the northwest coast of Germany (captured from Denmark).

From the 5th century to the 6th century, people from the Anglo-Saxon tribes migrated southward to the North Sea and immigrated to the island of Great Britain. It was only in the following three or four hundred years that the two tribes merged into Anglo-Saxons.

Through conquest and assimilation, the Anglo-Saxons and the "aborigines" (Celts) of Great Britain, together with the "Danes" and "Normans" who immigrated later, formed the modern English (including Scots) after a long period of integration.

The Anglo-Saxons belong to the Germanic people. According to Bede (673-735), an early British historian, they came from three different tribes: the Angles from the Danish Peninsula, the Saxons from the lower Elbe River and the Jutes from jutland, Denmark. The Anglo-Saxon conquest of England began in 449, when they met with strong resistance from the Celts. In 500 AD, the Celtics won the Battle of Mount Barton, and the semi-legendary King Arthur was the national hero who led the Celtic Britons to resist the invasion. Throughout the Middle Ages, legends such as King Arthur's Palace, Magic Sword and Knights of the Round Table were all formed around King Arthur. After the Anglo-Saxons conquered Britain, 10 small kingdoms were established one after another, leaving seven after the merger: three Saxon kingdoms-Wessex, Sussex and Essex; Three Anglian kingdoms-East Anglia, Northumbria and Mercia; 1 The jute kingdom is called Kent. In British history, the coexistence of these seven kingdoms was called the "Seven Kingdoms Period" (600-870). "England" comes from English land, which means the land of the Angles. Wessex is the strongest of the seven kingdoms, and King Egbert (802-839) first unified Britain in 829.
