the Saxons, from Lower Saxony (in modern Germany; German: Niedersachsen) and the Low Countries;
the Jutes, possibly from the Jutland peninsula (in modern Denmark; Danish: Jylland).
Beowulf
Beowulf ( /beiwʊlf/; in Old English [beːow̯ ʊlf] or [beːəwʊlf]) is the conventional title of an Old English heroic epic poem consisting of 3182 alliterative long lines, set in Scandinavia, commonly cited as one of the most important works of Anglo-Saxon literature.

The Anglo-Saxon era denotes the period of English history between about 550 and 1066.[1][2] The term is also used for the language, now known as Old English, that was spoken and written by the Anglo-Saxons and their descendants in England (and part of southeastern Scotland) between at least the mid-5th century and the mid-12th century
the Jutes, possibly from the Jutland peninsula (in modern Denmark; Danish: Jylland).

•
The crash in the banqueting-hall came to the Danes,
• the men of the guard that remained in the building, • with the taste of death. The deepening rage • of the claimants to Heorot caused it to resound. • It was indeed wonderful that the wine-supper-hall • withstood the wrestling pair, that the world’s palace • fell not the ground. But it was girt firmly, • both inside and out, by iron braces • of skilled manufacture. Many a figured • Gold-worked wine-bench, as we heard it, • started from the floor at the struggles of that pair.

The men of the Danes had not imagined that any of mankind by what method soever might undo that intricate, antlered hall, sunder it by strength – unless it were swallowed up in the embrace of fire.

In the 9th century, the Christian Anglo-Saxons were invaded by the Danes. The Danes occupied the northern part of the island. They were stopped by Alfred, King of the West Saxons from 871 till 899, who for a time united all the kingdoms of southern England. Alfred translated various works from Latin. Practically all of Old English poetry is preserved in copies made in the West Saxon dialect after the reign of Alfred.
