How different were the angles and saxons from the danes that invaded britain?
With different I mean regarding state structure,language and general culture aside from religion .

That filename says Saxons but that is clearly a Norman on the right.

>>2609231
I just took the first pic which looked like saxons.

Their languages at least were very similar with Old English for example sounding more like Icelandic then modern day English. As to state structure I'm not sure but they probably both had similar feudal systems.

I thought the same especially without norman influences. I mean they are both germanic languages after all and saxony isn't very far from denmark.

Nothing but religion and linguistic drift

If you were plopped into an English village you wouldn't be able to distinguish it from a Norse village

They were pretty much the same people, since the were all in the same small area with the Angles in the middle. Saxons who migrated were likely only the coastal people, Angeln was/is a small peninsula, and the "Danes" you're talking about were likely only the people just north of Angeln, not the entire area of modern Denmark.

Were they really though?

I mean, an alien observing humans from afar in, say, 1840 might assume that southern whites in the US were the same as northern whites, but in reality there were stark differences in culture despite them sharing a language.

I wonder if the Angles, Saxons and Jutes were similar.

They were very similar, you know. Some Danes even migrated ot England before the Viking Era. They were called Jutes. The Anglo Saxons should be called Anglo-Saxon-Jutes because they were very important in the creation of England too.
