The Angles, a tribe from what is now Denmark, and the Saxons, from a nearby area in what is now Germany, and the Jutes, from Jutland, invaded what is now England in the 5th Century and displaced the vestiges of governmant of Roman Britannia. All three groups spoke closely related Germanic dialects and a common language eventually developed among the various kingdoms they created. That language is now called Anglo-Saxon, and the term is also used to refer to the people who spoke that language and to distinguish them from their later conquerers, the Normans under William.
