As you are waiting you can read some earlier posts on here, for instance in this thread u/alricofgar has written about how English culture and identity changed after the Conquest and what remained. If you are interested in the history of the term "Anglo-Saxon" itself I can recommend this comment by u/sagathain, and there is also this discussion by u/VinceGchillin and others.
