Anglo-Saxon

The term "Anglo-Saxon" refers to the early medieval inhabitants of England, primarily composed of tribes from what is now Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands. This period, roughly from the 5th to the 11th centuries, saw the establishment of various kingdoms in England, such as Wessex and Mercia. The Anglo-Saxons are known for their contributions to English culture, law, and language, as well as significant historical events like the conversion to Christianity and conflicts with Viking invaders. Their legacy continues to influence modern English society, language, and identity.
