The Anglo-Saxon period begins in the fifth Century A.D., when the Angles, a Germanic tribe from what is now Denmark, came to Britain, which they re-named Engla-lond or "Land of the Angles." The Saxons began coming at about the same time. The period is generally considered to be over with the Norman Conquest of 1066.

Our English language has two major dialects to this day, the Anglic dialect of the north, called Scots or Doric or Lallands depending on one's politics, and the Saxon dialect of the South, called Standard English.

The Anglo Saxons inhabited Great Britain beginning in the 5th century. They included people from Germanic tribes who had migrated from Continental Europe, and the period refers to the time after their initial settlement, until the Norman Conquest, which was about 450 until 1066.

The Anglo-Saxons appeared in England in 456 AD. The Angles and the Saxons had been living on the continent of Europe for centuries before that.
