The English
|
|
Those British citizens who were born in or now live in *England. The term has very little ethnic meaning since centuries of invasion (forcing the early *Britons ever further to the west) were followed by centuries of immigration. The nearest to an indigenous English people are probably the descendants of the *Anglo-Saxons.
