I’m so glad that the patently absurd (and yet, until recently, inexplicably fashionable) notion that Romano-Britons were neither ethnically cleansed nor geographically displaced by a significant migration of Anglo-Saxons, but instead just willfully abandoned their native language so completely that no trace of it survived in the replacement, even as a substrate, has finally been put to bed by the latest genetic study.

This channel should be getting way more views! Great history.Learning a lot.

Yes! Totally agree!

Love this video, and your calm yet engaged style of teaching this history! I'm fascinated with the Jutes' original language and influences in Britain. Where can I read more of your stuff, Tom Kerns?! Articles or info about how you research your videos...?

Very informative! Thank you! I thought I was pretty versed on the subject matter but learned a lot listening to you.

Idem!

Great work. Very nice listen.

I just always, since I was a young teen, wanted to know who the Jutes really were and what happened to them.

I have just been studying the Jutes of South Hants & Wight. Their origins may be similar to that suggested for Kent, as feoderati to man Saxon shore forts at Pevensey, Clausentum (near Southampton) and Carisbrooke. They seem to have remained independent until the late 600s. A Mercian invasion in 661 probably conquered the east of the region, around the Meon and Hamble. This in turn put pressure on the Gewisse (later the west saxons) to convert the remaining Jutish territory, west of Southampton water, from their new bishopric in Winchester. Full control of this territory probably came after Caedwalla seized the throne of the Gewisse in 685. He also gained control of the Meonwara and Sussex at the same time, and subsequently invading the IOW (though he was probably badly wounded in this invasion, leading to his early death in 688). The history of S Hants was subsequently re-written under Ine of Wessex, and then in the ASChronicle to legitimise the conquest of the Jutes by Wessex (hence the absolute dog's breakfast of a story in the Chronicle). Best source on this is Bede, who was in regular correspondence with Bishop Danihel of Winchester within a generation of Caedwalla. Interestingly, as later as the 12th century, reporting on the death of William Rufus John of Worcester refers to the New Forest as the province of the Jutes.

Sorry, I wrote Pevensey - I actually meant Porchester. Portchester seems to mark a break in place name type between the very common "ing" suffix in Sussex (Worthing, Patching, Angmering, Hayling etc) to the "wara" in Hampshire. There are almost no ings in Hampshire. Pevensey is a whole other story...

Our tall stature & fair hair is also indicative of Teutonic {i.e. Angle, Saxon, Jute, Frank, Frisian, Dane & Norse} ancestry.

So basically the Jutes and perhaps the other tribes such as the Angles,Saxons etc were proto Vikings?

yes, Anglo-Saxon dna is very similar to modern day Danes and Dutch and indistinguishable from Danish Viking dna , that is very interesting to me as a Dane because there is an old Danish historian who wrote in 1160-1200 AC that the Jutes, Angles, Teutons and Danes were brothers , he also wrote the Danes had red hair, the new dna studies that proved the Angles, Jutes and Danes were same people diff. tribes also proved that Danish Vikings predominately had red hair, historians used to ignore him but he have been right about other things discovered lately, another thing Saxo wrote about was a King of Jutland by the name of Horvendill (Orwendel)who was killed by his brother who the married the wife of Horvendill , Horvendill had a son by the name Amlet , this is the base for Shakespeare Hamlet , that is however 1 of Saxo's stories they haven't proven yet

Thanks that's very interesting to know.Funny thing is as a Yorkshireman with reddish brown hair, is that when I'm abroad many Scandinavians automatically assume I'm a Scandi and approach me speaking their own language.They become confused when I tell them I'm English.Happens often😀

Hwhattt, fool?!? 😮

So you believe there was a 5th century anglo saxon invasion of An-Geal-Land? Wood for the trees lad. Wood for the trees.
