Angelsakser
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 selv for blandt andet Nord Angler og Øst Angler, og heraf er så afledt det fældes navn: England.
