What did the Romans contribute to England?
The Romans influenced Anglo Saxon Britain in many ways. The first is the language. The Anglo Saxon language was a mixture of majorly Latin, some Celtic, and Norse. The Romans also left some materials that Anglo Saxons used to build huts and homes. They also converted pagan Britain into Christianity in the 500s.
Are there any Saxons left in the world?
Yes. I am what is referred to as a WASP, or white Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Aryan is another term that could be used to describe us.
When did the Anglo Saxon start?
The Anglo Saxon was in Germany"Anglo Saxon" refers specifically to two tribes who lived in what is now Germany and Denmark as well from ancient times until the end of the Roman Empire. The Angles came from a place called Angeln which is on the border between Germany and Denmark in the part of Germany that is now called Schleswig-Holstein. The Saxons came from Saxony (also called Sachsen) which is the area of northern Germany around the city of Hamburg. Sometimes people consider the Jutes to be "Anglo-Saxon" as well. The Jutes are from Jutland which is now in Denmark. The Angles and the Saxons were never in the Roman Empire, they lived outside it, and they used to make their money by being paid to be mercenary soldiers for the Romans and also the governments of parts of the former Roman Empire. In 410AD the Romans left Britain and there were many problems. In 449AD the British Government of the time invited some of the Anglo-Saxons to come to Britain to help them fight the Scots and the Irish who kept invading. The Anglo-Saxons period starts from 449AD. In about 480AD the Angles and the Saxons decided they were not going to do what the British government wanted so they revolted and told their friends to come to Britain to steal things and make it their own land. When they invaded Britain there was already people here - Welsh speaking people - who they killed or forced to leave their homes. Some Welsh people who stayed were made into slaves. Eventually the Anglo-Saxons conquered all of what is now called England, but it was divided into at least seven English speaking kingdoms for a long time. These Anglo-Saxon kingdoms are known as the Heptarchy and were Wessex, Essex, Sussex, East Anglia, Kent, Mercia and Northumbria. The period in English History usually considered the Anglo-Saxon Period started from the beginning of the Anglo-Saxon invasion (449AD) and continues until 1066AD which is when the Norman Conquest occurred and England was invaded and conquered by the Normans.

There were waves of migration both before and after the Romans left. The Saxons became the Anglo-Saxons through a fusion with the Angles.

How long did the Anglo saxons live for?
They've never left. They arrived in the 5th century and became part of the "English" in the 9th/10th century. The period of their rule came to an end with the Norman invasion of 1066 but like much of the nations mongrel history they just merged becoming Anglo-Norman. While the ruling class was Norman and then Anglo Norman the underlying people were considered mostly descended from Anglo Saxon (although Jutes, Norse and Celts are all mixed in there as well) and the term has stayed with England. As you can see from the above, we're just a crazy mixed-up, yet fantastic nation!
What were Anglo saxon forts made from?
Generally wood like their houses which is why little remains of them. Some Roman forts which were of stone were taken over by them which later after the Norman invasion of Anglo Saxon England developed into Norman Castles or Churches. The building on the same sites of fortifications over the years and the upgrading of them means there is little evidence left apart from foundations.
