@TheEggmaniac A recent genetic report from the Wellcome and the Max Planck institutes showed that even the English are 70% Celtic falling to 62% in East Anglia. Which has led to the idea that the ancient Britons were not wiped out by the so called Anglo Saxons but obsorbed by them into one people we now know as the English. They also discovered that we are more similar to modern Dutch and Danes and the Angles of course came from what is now Denmark.

@Christopher-ii6tr Exactly, not only were the Angles from Denmark too, as King Alfred himself admitted and he called himself Anglecynn meaning Kin of the Angles. Also the Norman's, or Northmen were also from Denmark though King William the Conquerors had forgotten how to speak it. However, he made sure his son could, perhaps so he could speak with his people, the Ænglisc.
