Concept

Anglo-Saxons

A cultural group that inhabited Great Britain from the 5th century until the Norman Conquest. Formed from Germanic tribes—primarily Angles, Saxons, and Jutes—who migrated from continental Europe, they established several kingdoms that eventually unified into the Kingdom of England. Their history, once dismissed as a 'Dark Age,' is now recognized for its sophisticated legal systems, vibrant literature, and exquisite metalwork.
