"It is interesting in ways that are very different from the rest of Britain. The Romans never subjugated Wales, and didn't really get their hands on Scotland, but in England by and large they were assimilated into the everyday English life. Funny, since the English weren't actually in England until the Roman rule collapsed. They were a tribe in Northern Germany at the time. I think the guy meant to say that in the parts of Britain that later became England, the Romans assimilated into British life.

I thought the Angles were there. It was the Saxons that came later. I think some of the Angles then migrated to the French coast.
