Angelsakser

Fra Wikipedia, den frie encyklopædi

Angelsaksere eller angelsachsere kaldes, med et senere opstået fællesnavn, de folk, der erobrede det romerske Britannien i tiden 450-600; de to hovedfolk var anglerne og sakserne, hvortil kom en skare jyder og harderne fra Jylland, men indbyggerne kaldte sig efter erobringen sig selv for blandt andet nordangler og østangler, og heraf er så afledt det fælles navn: England.
