  REF: Fighting Kings of Wessex, G.P. Baker:  Angeln is still on
  the map today, the seat of the ancient tribe of Angles, who
  later went to England.  It is on the eastern coast of the
  Danish peninsula, just where, opposite the islands, the broken
  coast turns around toward Mecklenburg, between Flensborg &
  Slesvik, north of Kiel Bay. They were close neighbors of the
  Swaefe to the SE (later the Swabians of medieval Germany) & of
  the Langobardi to the south (who later drifted to Italy &
  became known as the dreaded Lombards).
