In the time between the Roman evacuation of Britain and the invasion of the Anglo-Saxons, what did the area look like? Who were the Britons, what happened to them under the Anglo-Saxons, and are the Welsh their closest descendants?

I've been watching The Last Kingdom and Vikings, and they've made me wonder about this era. Anglo-Saxons quickly became the dominant actors in England, but was there ever pushback or a united cause by the native Britons to create a united kingdom? I know this is a loaded question... or series of questions... but I appreciate anything anyone has to say and any further suggested readings on the topics! Thanks again!
