What is the relationship between the Holy Roman Empire and the Germans in England?

1. Let's look at the Holy Roman Empire first. In the 10 century BC, the German state was being formed. In 9 19, Henry I, the "bird catcher" of Saxony Principality, was elected as the King of Germany and established a powerful army. Henry I died in 936, and his son Otto succeeded to the title. In the same year, he was elected German king. Since then, Otto I has waged a war of unification and expansion for many years. In 962, Pope John XII crowned Otto, known as Otto the Great. He became the supreme ruler of the Catholic world. From 1254, the empire was called "Holy Roman Empire" and was destroyed by Napoleon in 1806.

As can be seen from the above, the Holy Roman Empire is mainly composed of Germanic peoples, among which Otto the Great, the founder of the Empire, belongs to Saxony.

Let's look at Britain again. Britain is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which consists of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Among them, today's main nation, England, is called Anglo-Saxon.

Angles and Saxons originally belonged to Germanic language family, belonging to the North Sea Germanic people among the West Germanic people.

Around the 5th century AD, Huns flooded into the plains of Eastern Europe. Under the leadership of Attila, many Germanic peoples were forced to leave their homes and migrate westward, including Visigoths, ostrogoths, Vandals, Burgundy, Angles, Saxons and so on. Among them, the East and West Goths entered the Roman Empire, the Vandals traveled long distances to North Africa, and the Angles and Saxons went to Britain. Of course, not all these ethnic groups have moved out, but some have stayed in Central and Northern Europe.

As can be seen from the above, what is the relationship between the Holy Roman Empire and the Germans in Britain? In fact, they originated from the same bloodline.
