Scandinavian Britain

Its pretty widely known that the Angles came from Schleswig; much of which is in Denmark even today. i.e. Scandinavia. Strictly talking of historic regions the whole lot of it is in Scandinavia.

The massive coloured is the region (roughly) of Anglia, open coloured is extension towards Frisian area.

Are you sure, wasn't Sønderjylland part of Anglia?

No, but I haven't any maps showing otherwise. :D
And I'm not sure of the extend of real Anglia as it is described as the peoples living in between Saxons and Jutes.
And I don't think anybody knows it for sure or the extend of early Danish Jarldom of Slesvig for that matter which could point to some clues.

I'll do some internet search!
 
And then there's this one but it uses the much later border of Nørre Jylland and Sønder Jylland as the northern border of Anglia and as already marked who know's how old this was?
The southern border doesn't take into account North Albingia, part of Saxony at least at the time of Frankish conquest!
