Where did the angles and Saxons settle in AD 450?
There would have still been in mainland Europe in Germany during that era. However, they might, in that time period, have started to settle across most of England, probably excluding the very West of the country were the Celts would have been pushed back to. The Romans stayed until AD 410, and when Roman rule collapsed, a century and a half of immigration by Germanic peoples from European mainland followed ie. Angles and Saxons.

When did the Romans invade England?
The first time the Romans invaded England was in 55 BC and then again in 54 BC. under Julius Caesar. Britain was annexed as a province after the great "invasion" by Claudius in 43 AD. However in those almost one hundred years between the first invasion and Claudius there had been contact with the Brits, treaties had been made and trade established. Claudius came in as a "showpiece" conqueror, as the place had already been made secure for him by the future emperor Vespasian and his Second Augusta Legion. So it is next to impossible to pinpoint a date for the Roman takeover of Britain. The date that is generally accepted for the Roman invasion is 43 AD when Britain officially became a province.
