One of descent from [England], but no-where else (not even other parts of the united kingdom) who can trace his or her mitochrondric DNA to either the [anglo] mitochrondric eves or the saxons mitochrondric eves. Basically, if your family lived in England before 1066, you are of anglo-saxon descent. This label is NOT extended to Normans. Simply being pre-plantagenet is not enough to be considered anglo-saxon.
