Anglo-Saxons displaced which population?

Explanation:
After the Romans left Britain, Germanic-speaking groups moved in and settled in the southeast and east. The population that was displaced by this settlement was the Romano-Britons, the local inhabitants who had adopted much of Roman culture and language—often called Romanized Britons. This makes sense because the question is about who the Anglo-Saxons pushed out during the early medieval period in England. The other groups don’t fit as precisely: “Celts” is too broad a term for the specific population affected in that region and era, Picts were concentrated in Scotland, and Gauls were in continental Europe.
