England was not founded. England began to take shape after the Romans departed, and with the coming of the Angles and Saxons in the mid 400s. England comes from 'Angle land'.

Roman rule of England ended around 400 AD, creating the Anglo-Saxon Age. The Anglo-Saxon Age ended with the Norman Conquest.
The Norman Conquest in 1066 by William the Conqueror is generally held to be the beginning of "modern" England. England has been ruled by descendants of William the Conqueror ever since, and William the Conqueror created many of the traditions and customs still practiced today.
