Saxons, Angles and Jutes

Saxons, Angles and Jutes (449AD)

The Saxon Invaders along with their kinsmen, the Angles and the Jutes, were the least romanized (and the least civilized) of the Germanic tribes. The land that attracted the wild, pagan Saxons was Britain. The native people of Britain were Celts that called themselves Britons. They were so mildly affected by the Roman empire that they still spoke their own languages. Little is known about the actual Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain but it is known that the first invasions began in 449AD. {TL}
