The Anglo-Saxons were 3 germanic tribes: The Anglos, Saxons, and Jutes.

The British people were under attack from some tribe(someone please name), and they were making it through with the Roman Army by their side. But when the Roman Army had to go back to Rome to fight, the British were defenseless. So they took a risk and called for some tribes to come and help.

So, the three tribes mentioned above came to protect. They beat off the invading tribes easily, and then set their sights on Britain's land. They called for their friends in Germania(Germany) to come over, saying their was "free land" over here, and then they came over.

Once the British realized they were invaders, not protectors, they tried to stop them, but it was too late. The tribes took over Britain, and settled down.
