Good article except they keep calling him a Saxon. He’d call himself Anglian, English, or just Northumbrian.
To be clear though at this time there were “nations” although it would be false to say there is a continuous line from them to now. If they said protecting England at the time, that isn’t anachronistic as England was used to describe the kingdoms the English resided in.
