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.

England was invaded in the 400's AD by three tribes from Northern Germany: the Angles, Saxons and Jutes.
England was raided and settled from the north by the Vikings in the 800-900's.
One Viking group had settled in Normandy France by 1000 AD. In 1066 Normandy invaded England. That was the Norman invasion. These folk took over the rule of England from the saxon kings.
In the 1600's English royals mixed with Scottish nobility and in the early 1800's English royals mixed with German nobility from Hanover.
