The Angles were Germanic peoples from northern Germany and Denmark who invaded Britain from around 410 CE. Their name seems to be connected with Angeln, a modern district in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The Angles, together with the Jutes, the Saxons, and the Frisians, were among the tribes who sailed across the North Sea in the 5th century to invade Britain.[1] The various tribes were later called "Anglo-Saxon."[2]
