Pricipal Characteristics
The Anglo Saxon peoples
Descendants of three different Germanic peoples: the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes; with Britain’s preexisting Celtic inhabitants and subsequent Viking and Danish invaders.
The Anglo-Saxon period lasted for 600 years, from 410 to 1066. It used to be known as the Dark Ages, mainly because written sources for the early years of Saxon invasion are scarce.
