What did the Anglo-Saxons wear into battle and what equipment was used , and how effective was it in comparison to other cultures Weaponry, Armour?

I assume that the Saxons being Germanic had similar arms and armour to Scandinavia and other Germanic nations but was there any specific difference or was it all Padded wool tunics, Leather scales and chainmail (for nobles) like the Vikings and Danes. Also what was the typical tactics for battle and did they commonly fight among themselves?
