"England was originally a homogeneous culture"

When was that relative to the colonisation by Angles, Saxons, Jutes then Vikings and Normans?

Edit: It always amuses me that Arthur, the great national hero, was fighting against the Angles/Saxons.

Edit2: I'm Scottish so I'm biased ;-)

The Angles and Saxons and Jutes had a similar culture before they colonised England.
