-Jutland, in Denmark, is named for the Jutes- a people who no longer exist as most moved to England and were assimilated
-Angeln, in southern Holstein, was where the Angles lived but all of them moved to England and were the bulk of the in-migrants
-Saxons also came from northern Germany, but most remained there and fought Charlemagne and the Franks (who became the Dutch and French) for their right to worship trees and shit
-the fourth tribe, the Frisians, still live in Friesland which is now part of the Netherlands
Danes lived in Scania at the time when the Anglo-Saxons and Jutes were migrating to England and were not involved in the formation of the English language. Many English words of purported Norwegian/Danish origin may simply be English words, purely because the Anglo-Saxon dialects were closely related to the Scandinavian dialects and had much contact before the migration occurred.
>the FrenchThe Normans were descended from Norwegians under Hrolfr (later, Rollo) who converted to Christianity in exchange for Normandy (land of the Northmen) and to guard against other Scandinavian invasions on Francia's exposed northern coast.
>RomansThe Anglo-Saxons largely conquered the undefended Roman colonists and Brittonic peasantry after they invited the Anglo-Saxons in to fight off invasions by the Gaels and Picts after the withdrawal of Roman forces in 410 by the Emperor Honorious.
>vikingsNever conquered Wessex, resulting in Wessex driving the Vikings out and uniting the Anglo-Saxons under a single English crown. Later, Canute the Great took the throne of England, Norway and Denmark in his quest to conquer all the northern kingdoms to make his own empire.
