• Angles — A West Germanic people originating from the Angeln region (located in present-day Schleswig-Holstein) who, starting in the 5th century AD, migrated in mass and settled in Great Britain alongside the Saxons and Jutes. This well-defined structural ethnic group founded early medieval kingdoms (such as Mercia, Northumbria, and East Anglia) and played a fundamental historical role in the ethnogenesis of the English people, giving their name to both the country (England) and the English language.
