Who are the dark haired and dark eyed English?

First: not all saxons had fair/red hair; moreover there is historical proof that blonde hair was very common and that alot of saxons, angles and danes dyed their light brown hair to become blonde (blonde was part of their "ideal" image).

Secondly: dark haired and dark eyed english would mostly descend from celtic Britons (the original brythonic tribes which were of iberian origin), Normans (a large percentage of Normans had dark hair from frankish/breton source), Welsh (which incidentally could also be considered Brythonic) and other minor groups.
