A district in the frontier region between Germany and Denmark; a portion of modern Schleswig-Holstein. This was the home of the Angli, a Teuto-Norse people closely related to the Jutes, Danes, and Germans who were their neighbours. A large portion of them migrated into Britain at the beginning of the 6th century, there to establish East Anglia. Although never dominant among the Germanic invaders of the Isles, their contribution to the migration was of lasting significance: their name, Anglaland, i.e. England.
