Apparently England was hit with a series of invasive waves, some were aggressive, some were accepted, beginning with the Romans, and they (Romans) were Germanics whom pushed into Italy, next the Vikings, Norsemen, both Germanics, followed by the Jutes, Angles, Saxons, Normans, all Germanics. The English had been, like the Irish and Welsh, largely of "Basque" lineage. But ... What you will notice is that the "Mainstream Academics" will use "early Hunter Gathers, followed by Farmers", they refer to the Basque as an isolated group, because they speak a language that has never been influenced by "Germanic" and they are a separate line, Rh(-), and their History literally states "We are from Atlantica", (the "Mainstream Academics" deem that myth, I deem the Mainstream Stories largely Myth, but that's a separate subject, I will make a statement at the end.) *Thus, the original English in Britain were originally Basque whom had DNA added from various immigrants, and at some point, likely after the Romans, Vikings, and Norsemen, and probably during the Angles and Saxon waves, the following took place:* (At some point during this era, *the English DNA was affected leaving the following:. Maternal DNA as expected , a continuum with Anglo-Saxon/Germanic influence, others as expected, and *the Paternal/Male DNA was "reduced to less than 2%",* this indicates that all Males, Adult, Adolescent, Children, and Babies, we're removed, aka an "Ethnic Cleansing", which can only mean they were sold into slavery or they were eradicated/killed.)* On this point I find it obvious in the absence of information that someone, removed all written records 9n the subject, the "Mainstream Academics" mention it and make lightly of it, but never elaborate on what happened and when. Now, the British and the Germans are anal about Record Keeping, thus I can only expect that the Royal Family had the records expunged, likely during WWI, when they changed their name to *"Windsor from Saxe Coburg Gotha".* This is my suspicion, so don't quote it as fact, but time will reveal the facts. DNA studies show the era and other details, but I haven't been able to get access to it, I'm thinking it would be an "in person + University Credentials + a particular Gov Authorization" required to get the information. It will eventually get put on the Internet. I am amazed at the lack of interest by the British Public, or they may not know anything about the actual %. I'm not British, but I am Irish of Basque origin, my lineage is from Counties Kerry and Cork, and I was born in the USA, Chicago. ___________________________ "Mainstream Academia particularly Archaeologists" use "a 19th Century Theory based Paradigm and Linear Timeline". This stands in opposition to the Standards of "Science and Research" which forbids using a Theory as Fact. Many 9f them behave quite Dogmatic about the subject. The entire subject is most unsettling, as my degrees involved a great deal 9f emphasis on Research, and my Advisor, PhD and Head of the Department of Sociology was most adamant about the *"Standards of Science and Research"* (Sociologists are the Research hounds, the entire subject is always centered around research, studies, statistics, and data. We are the go to experts that Marketing, Advertising, and other Sciences employ when they want Accurate Data and Findings. My degrees are in Sociology, History, and Journalism, obviously I've done a few hours in Libraries, Classrooms, and on-line, searching. "Authentic Academics" follow the "Standards of Science and Research" and a strict "Code of Ethics". This subject to will find resolution, due to the works in Genetic/DNA Studies and Quantum Physics, Quantum Entanglement and Quantum Mechanics. Findings already exist to sufficiently set aside the "Theory, relative to Modern Humans", it just hasn't been discussed inview 9f the Public. (We need a Free Press) But you can book on it, it will set aside the "Darwinian Model for Modern Humans" and the "All Out of Africa Theory" as well. Both are 8naccurate. You can Quote me on that.

And from Britain, the modern world at large. The smallest island and least among all peoples, became the seat of one of the largest empire's the world has ever known, an empire that was not conquered, but managed to end more or less on its own terms, forming one of, still, the most prolific and advanced cultures to ever exist. The sun of the English speaking world is undoubtedly setting these days, but what cannot be denied is the impact on humanity this one tiny island had.

No joke. The Anglo-Saxons adopted the word barbarian (probably from the welsh or from reading classical Roman texts) and started using it to mean pagan Danes.

In French, "Bretons" means the people of Brittany, and it is the British whom we call "Britannique". "Bretagne" can mean either Brittany or Britain, because both were the country of the "Bretons". When they wanted to be precise, people would say "Grande Bretagne" - Great Britain. It is funny to think that name 'Armorica' disappeared because of this migration. On the other side of Gaul, 'Belgica' carried on across the centuries and is still recognizable today.

*Walhaz is such an interesting word. It's "foreigner" for germanics, but it ended up meaning "Roman" and "(romanized) Celt" in many instances. Welsh are named after this one, but so are the Romance-speakers in Switzerland (Welschland, Welschwiitz), and in Tyrol the germans call italians "Welsch"; Walloons are romance speakers (of a significant, albeit I doubt complete, romano-celtic origin) in Belgium... Rumenians are called Vlachs, and Poles call us Italians "Włochy". I am sure there are many, many others. Even the Walnut plant. Slavs, on their turn, called the germanics "mute ones", but that's another story...

Yeah it was more of a migration of Germanic people who integrated with the Britons. Of course some battles would be fought and they were. But even some Anglo-Saxon kings had Brythonic names. I don't think it was as simple as Britons vs Anglo-Saxons, I almost guarantee that Britons fought each other too and many likely fought alongside the Angles, Jutes and Saxons.

Strange how the Angles, Saxons, Jutes are seen as a different people than the Vikings. Jutes and Angles come from Denmark. The Saxons come from Northern Germany and literally bordered Angle territory. They worship an earlier form of the Norse Pantheon(which is why I refer to it as Germanic paganism). And they sailed to Britain to raid, trade and settle. They seem to truly be an earlier wave of Vikings.

As a native Welsh speaker I can tell you Lloegr is still the modern name for England in Welsh. The word for an English person is Sais (singular) or Season (plural) literally meaning Saxon.

Just a minor correction, at 11:28 you say that Angles, Jutes and Saxons spoke north germanic languages. This is a common mistake but in reality the Saxons, Angles and Jutes (+ the Frisians which were also a major contribution to the anglo-saxon migration) are classified as speaking "ingvaeonic" languages, aka north sea germanic, which is grouped in west germanic and not in north germanic. The Jutes are an interesting bunch, initially they may have spoken a transition dialect between west and north germanic. However, the Jutes in England spoke a dialect mostly related to Frisian. This is not so surprising when you consider that Frisians lived right across the channel in Flanders and the Dutch coast. In fact, many Jutes may have left Jutland around 200 CE when the Danes invaded, going through Angle, Saxon and eventually Frisian territrory before partaking in the conquest of Britain.

That one migration here to the Northwestern Iberian Peninsula created a settlement and later a bishopric that was called Britonia, and there's still today a town named Bretoña there. Largest river here, that serves as frontier between Portugal and Spain in its last stretch, and called _Minho_ (PT) _Miño_ (ES), comes from the celtic _Mino_ , meaning "soft". Two of its tributaries are called _Deva_ , from the celtic goddess _Dewa_ . Although we cannot atribute the origin of the bagpipe to the Celts with certainty (there are bagpipes from Morocco to Turkey as well), fact is that there's a strong bagpipe tradition in the ancient Gallaecia, with varieties as _Minhota_ and _Trasmontana/Mirandesa_ in Portugal, and _Galega_ , _Sanabresa/Alistana_ in Spain.

That’s a great overview, bravo! A tip for pronouncing Welsh words: the stress is always on the penultimate syllable. So Gododdin is “Goh-DOÐ-in”, where the dd (Ð/ð/“eth”) is pronounced like the “th” in the English words “they” and “weather”. And if there’s only one syllable, like Hen in Yr Hen Ogledd, it’s often stressed, so “HAIRN” rather than “hen”. Looking forward to your future videos!

I'm not sure about Normans having contempt for Germanic cultures. I mean, they identified as being Norsemen in Francia, the Normans used Norman as an endonym while Frank was used by the Anglo-Saxons as an exonym for them. The Normans in England were also a mixed group, many were Bretons or Normans of Breton origin, some were Flemings, some were just French / Franks and more still were just Normans and not Franks. Another thing to consider is that the Normans likely felt more kinship with the Normans in Sicily than with other non-Norman Frenchmen. Some Anglo-Normans were massive Anglophiles. Oderic Vitalis is a good example. The fact that the Anglo-Normans had to know English to effectively live in England meant they increasingly appreciated the people and country until they stopped being Norman and became exclusively English in identity. Another historic irony is that some of the Norse ancestors of the Normans (and even Bretons) would have been Anglo-Danes from the Danelaw.

A really interesting recent book (2019) on this subject is 'The Emergence of the English' by Susan Oostheuzen. She challenges the traditional historical narrative that the anglo-saxons invaded England by force, creating the English people . She suggests that because Gildas is so incredibly unreliable, he's almost useless as a source. Instead, she points out the archaeological and language evidence indicate that there was no large scale invasion, and that in fact life continued along familiar lines in the centuries after the Romans leaving Britain (e.g. there is no re-mapping of fields, which typically happens when a new culture or group takes over an area). The 'saxon' elements that start to enter Britain from the 5th century onwards are more likely to have arrived as a result of trade, small-scale immigration or 'fashion' (i.e. saxon-style pottery and names being seen as fashionable).

Not what the genetic studies suggest. Also, it's strange that a few immigrants could completely dominate the linguistic development of the future area of England.

​@@adventussaxonum448 Although some genetic studies report that intermarriage only began in the 9th century - leaving a very difficult to explain 300 year or so period where Saxons and Britons were supposedly living side by side, but not having genetucally traceable relationships. Genetic work on 5th and 6th century cemeteries also show they are largely full of people who were born and grew up locally, and foreign-born bodies in these cemeteries come from all over europe. The language question is the weakest part of the book though - she suggests that low latin was likely more prevalent in Lowland Britain than previously thought (evidenced by place names), and that multi-lingualism can help to explain how Old English spread so fast.

@@Pertinax69 my thinking is that the coming of Germanic tribes was as mercenaries. we know that the Germans were already serving Rome as soldiers so they would have been familiar with Britain They might also have started as pirates who had left their lands because of poor harvests All of the above factors might have just come together to make a perfect storm once a strong state ( Rome) could not keep them out

@@mbulelozulu7963 I agree, for sure there was a mercenary element with germanic provincial troops. There's a section of Gildas where he talks about Saxon troops 'coming into our homes', but its been suggested that the latin here actually refers to 'billeting' of troops - i.e. gildas was upset that Roman provincial troops were being billeted in private homes in Britain.

Leave the sixth century welshman alone, it's kind of crazy to think how widespread the Celts used to be and that those of us in Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Cornwall, Brittany and the Isle of Man are the last of the Celts. Still, we made it to the modern era and a lot of peoples and cultures didn't so I figure we did well.

A great video again, but there is one mistake: The Anglo-Saxons didn't speak a North Germanic language. The spoke West Germanic dialects. To be precise they spoke Ingvaeonic dialects, which are also called North Sea Germanic. Up to the 10th century people from England and Lower Saxony - like Emperor Otto I. and his wife Eadgitha, sister of King Aethelstan - could understand each other. This could not be the case if in English would have descended by a North Germanic Dialect. Furthermore was their no reason for Angles, Saxons and Jutes to change their language when moving to Britain. The Jutes vanished from history after the Danish invasion of Jutland. The Danes brought their North Germanic dialect with them, why today the Danish language is spoken in the greater part of Jutland. Some Frisians still speak their Ingvaeonic language, but the language of the Saxons in northern Germany became more similar to the German dialects during the middle ages. Today it's somewhere between German, Dutch, Danish and its' Ingvaeonic origins. It differs from village to village and it was supposed, that it did so within the dark ages.
