What would have happened to the history of Britain had the Anglo-Saxons survived as the rulers of England? Let us say that the Battle of Hastings is an Anglo-Saxon victory and William of Normandy is forced out of England. How would things possibly develop?

I would imagine that England would be much more Germanic than OTL, with old Anglo-Saxon English developing into something more like High German or Frisian. They could also be seen as a Scandinavian country: with strong Nordic lineage and no French power turning it around.

But what do you think is possible?
