The term "East Angles" refers to a group of Anglo-Saxon tribes that settled in the eastern part of England during the early medieval period. This region, known as East Anglia, includes the modern counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. The East Angles played a significant role in the formation of early English culture and society. The East Angles were known for their agricultural practices and trade, particularly in wool. They established several important towns, including Norwich and Bury St Edmunds, which became centers of commerce and culture. The region's history is marked by its connections to the wider Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and its eventual integration into the Kingdom of England.
