Abstract
The Anglo-Saxons - the Germanic forefathers of the present English nation - emigrated from the country between the Rhine and the Elbe at various times during the fifth and sixth centuries; at least, towards the end of the latter century the Anglo-Saxons or English were masters of the land, and from that time dates the development of their dialects, which together form what is now usually called Old English.
