The invaders to the British Isles came in the fifth century. These non-Christian invaders -- tribes of Jutes, Danes, Angles, Frisians, etc. -- from Scandanavia and Germany became known in the British Isles as the Anglo-Saxons. They brought with them the story of Beowulf, transmitted by story-tellers. Centuries later, the story was written down in Christian England.
