Genes are spread widely in 1000 years. If a generation takes 25 years in average, it means that each person descends from 2^(1000/25)=1,099,511,627,776 people 1000 years ago. Research has shown that great genes also spread between continents, except for those that preserve the look of people. Some areas have had extremely low mobility, but the people that had low mobility, often did not write history. For instance, Ukraine was founded by Vikings, and the Vikings ensured a lot of knowledge exchange between different areas of Europe, but in Ukraine, they were absolutely a very small (but ruling) minority. In a similar way, the Hungarians share culture and language with the Finnish people, for instance, singing songs about death to babies etc. However, genetically, they are not related in any way. Culture and language moves together, but genes don't move together with language. Anyway, the vikings are people from multiple prehistoric tribes, some who lived just next to the Saxons. Comparing 200 year old east English to west Danish reveals a huge similarity, it's almost the same language - but the difference to middle-Danish is much greater, and remember that the Vikings came from a larger terrority than just Denmark. Today's Britain is composed of many areas with different cultures.
