The Anglo-Saxons invaded England from Denmark, Norway, and Germany.
The Angles and the Saxons were two different nations of people and came from different places.
The Angles came from a place called Angeln. This place can now be found on the border of Germany and Denmark.
The Saxons came from a place called Old Saxony. This is now part of Germany and includes all of the modern German states of Westphalia and Lower Saxony.
A third group of people often included with the Anglo-Saxons were the Jutes. These people were fewer in number than the Angles or the Saxons and came from Jutland. Jutland is now the northern part of the large Jylland Peninsular in Denmark.
