That’s because everyone blames the Jutes for everything. Wait, what?

The Saxons are also left out (it’s called England, after all) and Alfred the Great was the Saxon king of Wessex. :^) The Jutes left their name on Jutland in Denmark, and the Saxons left theirs on Saxony in Germany, and on the first “National Treasure” movie.

saxons also are extant in the kingdom-names Essex, Sussex, Wessex - east, south, and west saxons. iirc old english for saxon was ‘seaxe’ (nominative singular?)

angles, aside from engleland itself, are in the placename east anglia.
