The Angles were a Germanic people who originally lived at the neck of the
Jutland Penninsula. In around the 5th c. A.D., they migrated to what is now
England. There, they founded the kingdoms of Northumbria
?, [East Anglia]
?, and Mercia
?. The word 'England' is itself derived from Angle-land, or the land of the Angles. With the Saxons, the Angles formed the basis of pre-Norman English society and provided the roots of the English language.
