Answer:

The Britons

Step-by-step explanation:

The Britons, were a Celtic population that inhabited modern day England until the early Middle Ages, when they were displaced by the Anglo-Saxons.

The Anglo-Saxons came from modern-day Denmark and Northern Germany, and they quickly overpowered the native Britons. The legendary King Arthur, is a fictional character inspired in this era: he was a Briton King who fought against the Anglo-Saxons.

The Anglo-Saxons converted to christianity, and kept many cultural practices of the Britons, but in other aspects, they completely overrode the indigenous Celtic culture. For example, the English language, is in its origin germanic, and pratically does not have any Briton words.
