Anglian
In the 5th and 6th centuries AD there was immigration into England from northern Germany and southern Scandinavia. Early Anglo-Saxon historians, such as Bede said that three main tribes arrived, the Jutes from Jutland (who came to Kent and the Isle of Wight), the Saxons from Saxony (who came to southern England), and the Anglians, who came from Angeln in modern Denmark, who came to Eastern and Northern England.
