Anglo-Saxons were actually Friesians Numerically - probably. Because when scholars wanted to speak Anglo-Saxon they use the Friesian language** as more than a guide. I was always taught that the Anglo-Saxons originated from that part of Europe - the Angles, Saxons and Jutes (Jutland - Denmark/Germany). The Vikings (Danelaw) ruled in East Anglia at times - think Cnut. **Goggle have the tranlation on their list. I used it to produce one of my FAQ pages.
