When we read about English history, we learn that the Saxons invaded after the Romans departed. If that is so, why isn’t the country called Saxonland?
So, how do historians differentiate between the Saxons and the Angles? Aren't they similar?
The Saxons and the Angles were both Germanic peoples who were closely related linguistically and culturally. In fact, they probably shared a common origin in what is now Denmark and northern Germany. However, there were some differences between them in terms of their customs, social structures, and dialects. Historians use a variety of sources to try to tease out these differences, including archaeology, language, and written records from the time.
