To think all this sh*t happened just because Emperor Honorius said: "No way I am sending troops to that stupid insignificant island!"
Its crazy how a civilized people abandon their culture to adopt the culture of barbaric peoples. This happen just some times during the history, in England (Roman-Breton Culture ---> Anglo-Saxon Culture) and in Turkey (Hellenic Culture ---> Oghuz Culture)

I think we kinda skip the fact that the Saxons has been raiding the island since early 4th century... Hence the Saxon shore
@@RezaXGWB
Or, again, we skip the fact that looking back through history, the Norman’s arrived.
Exactly. There was no great change in 401AD sine Saxons had been allowed to settle. That was the easiest way to protect Britain, against further invasions.
@ Allowed to settle? Who gave them permission?
@@chazwyman do you understand what raiding entails?
@@johnburns9634no that was long after the Anglo Saxons had established themselves in Britain
"Have you ever heard the tail of Hengis and Horsa? It's not a story the Celts would tell you. It's an Anglo-Saxon legend."
Best comment
Hengist and Horsa are described as Jutes (from Jutland)
"Tale"
They were typical for the Age. They were mercenary adventurers from poor Denmark. They prospered and wanted to settle in their new country that gave them work. Only they kept asking for new troops of country men, who jealous with envy all wanted jobs in Britannia. Like Mexicans keep calling unemployed or underpaid relatives to come and grab what USA may have, under the table even. Until they were too many illegal Saxons and things got out of control
What happened to the Jutes?

Oh boy.
I always wonder why England and that German province called Saxony were always so closed throught History.
What? Which Saxony do you mean?
There are three German states with Saxony in their name.
While Lower Saxony is the modern Saxon homeland (mostly, as well as Westphalia, Holstein, Bremen, Hamburg, parts of Saxony-Anhalt), the state called Saxony today has no direct relation to the medieval Saxons at all.
It’s due to complicated internet conflicts and politics inside the Holy Roman Empire. The original Duchy of Saxony was dissolved in 1180 (punishment) and the title Duke of Saxony was given to a nobleman outside of the Saxon homeland.
@@TheMichaelKLet's not forget that most of those states are artificial and were created by the Allied Occupation
Why? Because winters are milder in Britain.
@@TheMichaelK the eastern Saxony is fake. The Northwest Regions are the true Saxony
@@WorstLandsknechtEverIt is said that the eastern Saxons are a mix of the Thüringer, Bavarians and Slavs. I, too, am from Saxony, from a village founded by Slavs.
The majority of people who live in Scotland Wales and Ireland are still recognisable through their DNA as genetically distinguishable from the general population of England.
The Anglo-Saxons had minimal effect on the Celtic regions of Britain as far as integration, especially Scotland and the South of Ireland.
I am originally from the Isle of Sky in Scotland, as were my ancestors, and when I had my DNA checked I was told I had DNA markers that were extremely rare to find in the general population in England. But were conversely quite common in most of Scotland, especially the west coast of, and in Northern Ireland.
Half right, half wrong.
What are your markers? If you have X1 mt haplogroup or V mt haplogroup, or even E haplogroup, that means that you're 101% Pictish, because these haplogroups are Basque, Caucasian and Semitic, who were related to Picts.
The people in Wales and Ireland (and in Basque country too) are "The most European among Europeans", because they have the largest R1b haplogroup precent.
England, also, mostly consist of Celtic genetics, rather than English. Celts were predominant in early Middle Ages, they just started to speak English as a little group of new people did.
So the question about you is what are your haplogroups. And the people in Ireland, Wales and England are very similar to each other, because they all are predominantly Celtic with a little bit of Scandinavian and English DNA, the only one distinguished are Picts.
@@Edarnon_Brodie Britannic islands were not really celtic in their DNA, they were Celts by culture. It seems celts origin from central europe. I would call them more britons.
@@thomaslacornette1282 Umm... What? Britain has one of the most R1b haplogroup percentage in the world. The highest places are Wales, Ireland and Basque country, which also says that R1b is not only IE haplogroup, but mostly from "Atlantic substrate".
I don't exactly get what have you tribes to say lol) Britain isn't Celtic? No, it is! Central Europe is more Celtic? Sadly, it's not.
@@Edarnon_Brodie I think it's because it's a misunderstanding of what celtic people is, Atlantic peoples were of celtic culture but not ethnic celts the last studies have changed many things. I thin you agree celt origin from Hallstatt? it is quite far from british islands.

@@bobsakamanos4469are you claiming that those Germanic tribes didn't forge a global wide empire and is the basis for Murica's global influence 😂?
@@SirBedevereTheWise hmmm, I thought you were mocking the concept. All right then; your second comment clarifies your position.
@@bobsakamanos4469 so what I'm hearing is you saying UK didn't have colonies in India, North America, China Australia Africa.... That the UK isn't responsible for English become a secondary or backup language for more than 75% of the world... That the American culture is spreading globally due to our presence everywhere on top of the usage of Internet, movies, music etc (remember, the United States is a former colony of Great Britain, therefore those tribes are our mutual "humble" beginning)
@@SirBedevereTheWise yes, American culture is spreading everywhere through hollyweird etc. That's certainly nothing to be proud of though as your moral compass is broken.
That the Saxons were invited isn't a modern theory - it was the classic explanation for how they arrived in Britain; that Vortigern hired them as mercenaries against the Picts; they demanded Kent to settle their families and eventually under Hengist and Horsa rebelled. How historical Hengist and Horsa are is open to doubt - Bede says they were Woden's great-great-grandchildren and they look suspiciously like the Horse Twins motif which is thousands of years older.
I see you have also read Geoffrey of Monmouth
It’s called a myth to justify Anglo Saxon conquest. Just like the America thanksgiving myth. But whatever helps you cope I guess
Some historians have questioned the reliability of some of Bede's accounts. One historian, Charlotte Behr, asserts that the Historia's account of the arrival of the Germanic invaders in Kent should be considered as current myth, not history [1]
[1] Behr "Origins of Kingship" Early Medieval Europe pp. 25-52
Modern scholarly consensus regards Hengist and Horsa as mythical figures, given their alliterative animal names, the seemingly constructed nature of their genealogy, and the unknowable quality of Bede's sources [1]
[1] Halsall (2013:60-62).
Hengist and Horsa were actually jutes not Saxons. Also I think there is more evidence that the Angles,Saxons and jutes were Roman auxiliaries used as mercenaries to garrison Britannia. When Roman rule collapsed these germanic garrison troops simply established their own kingdoms in the areas they were garrisoning.
No prizes for guessing that Gildas was a Celt and Bede was an Anglo-Saxon.
True
The amount of learning we have in this Channel is awesome
My ancestry and DNA test results seem to indicate that a least on my Mother's side i may have desended from the Jutes. My mothers family came from Kent and i still have family living there now. Apparently Jutes settled in Kent and called themselves Kentings which is such a cute name. I can imagine my ancestors standing in a field in Kent saying, nice weather we're having and another saying wait around 5 mins lol.
If your family came from west of the river Medway, then you are a Kentish Man (or Maid). If your family comes from east of the river Medway, then you are a Man (or Maid) of Kent.
@@nicks40 thanks, I have heard that but my family used the terms interchangeably (probably breaking some cardinal rule or something, but my family always were rule breakers.) My Mum had moved to Birmingham by the time I was born so she called me her little Brummie. My Mum, sister and brother were all born in Kent though. My Nan was born and brought up in London so my Grandad called her his cockney sparrow. My Granddad was born in Great Chart, then lived in Maidstone for a while before settling in Ashford. He was in the Army during the second world war. Survived Dunkirk and D day which is good otherwise my Mum would never have been born. Is Ashford West or East of the river?
@@missaj5623 That's easy. The Medway rises in Sussex and then trundles through Tonbridge, Maidstone and Rochester, so Ashford is well to the east of the river. I used to live in Bournville in Birmingham but I come from Southsea so I'm a Hampshire Hog.

Typical English. They just love immigrant invaders. No wonder they allowed themselves to be conquered many times over

I like it how he can literally quote primary sources and people who quote none are criticising him.
Because some people have deeper knowledge of the history of this time. This channel is very superficial and often gets some of its facts wrong, whether they mention primary sources or not. Every serious student of history knows Gildas, King Alfred and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, and the Venerable Bede. The only way you can know for yourself what likely happened (because we’ll never know for sure) is to read the primary and some good secondary sources yourself. You’ll get 100x the depth than what’s presented here by the video and in the comments!
Well who's to say the sources are correct?
@@dukeon In all fairness it’s such a broad subject to be covered in a 60 second short so yeah he’ll probably have to skip or even leave out factors to make the time count. But back to my comment, for the context of this short he sums up 200 years of history into 60 seconds of course he’s not going to have an in-depth analysis. Obviously we don’t know how much he knows but the fact he’s used primary, secondary, and archeological studies does show a modern understanding of the time.
@@PiousMoltar I think you could apply that question to all contemporary accounts. They may not be fully accurate but they still have value.
@@dansampson6720exactly. No source is 100% reliable. They were just written by people like you and me 🙏

First they were two small, migrating tribes, a second later they rule the world
You mean entire millenium
You're thinking of the Normans. The Anglo Saxons were squabbling barbarians fighting over the scraps left by the Romans
@@compatriot852 you realise the Norman's were called the Norman's from the words 'North man' yeah?
They literally are the same people as the Angles and the Saxons... they invaded France mainly from Denmark and kept the territory they captured after pledging loyalty to the French king.
Then yes they went to to conquer a large amount of Europe.
That was about 1300 years after this but yea
@@compatriot852 So speaks someone who knows nothing about the Anglo-Saxons! 😂
As the historian Eric John wrote in the 20th century: “It was the Anglo-Saxons who made England, the Normans who attempted to make Great Britain. And as yet they have not succeeded so well.”
The Norman conquest was an actual setback for the English. During Athelstan’s time, England was the most powerful and civilised country in western Europe.
reportedly, as soon as they arived in london they all looked at eachother for a little then tried to swim back to germany to no avail
It didn’t change history.It is the history!
So annoying when they use that phrase.
The lands settled by the Angles stretched much further north than shown on this map. They went right up to the Firth of Forth, encompassing southern Scotland: the area between the Forth and the Tees was the Kingdom of Bernicia (first named king, Ida on 547) ruled from Bamburgh close to the modern-day Scottish border, whilst the area between the Tees and the Humber was another Anglian kingdom, Deira (first known king, Aella in 559) ruled from York, though the two kingdoms came together later as Northumbria. Little of Bernicia, the cradle of civilisation in England in the late 7th and early 8th century (Bamburgh, Lindisfarne, Monkwearmouth, Jarrow, Cuthbert and Bede) is shown here. Cuthbert, a Bernician, was born in Melrose in modern Scotland. Lothian, the northern part of Bernicia, remained under English control until the late 10th/early 11th century.
The shaded area showing Roman occupation is also wide of the mark. It extended at least as far as Hadrian's Wall and the map does not even show it extending as far as one of the major centres, namely York (where two Roman emperors, Septimius Severus and Contantius Chloros actually died!).
This video explicitly covers the period between the initial migrations and the formation of the first Anglo-Saxon kingdoms (c. 400-550), so territories that had not yet become anglicized are not listed in the map. Large amounts of later England (including the bulk of Northumbria, as you pointed out, but notably the West Country and everything west of the Pennines) remained Celtic past the peaceful settlement stage and were only conquered and assimilated later. You can even see Northumbria, Mercia, and Wessex in their smallest forms on the map before they expanded into the period’s dominant kingdoms. You’re right in that the lack of Bernicia is very weird, but it was Brythonic kingdom before then and it can’t have been anglicized any earlier than c. 550. The video also doesn’t include several smaller kingdoms on the border in the political map at the end, just the future Heptarchy, which I guess might explain it (though it’s also a little unclear and misleading).
As for the Roman border… it does show it? At the beginning of the short, it briefly shows the Roman border at just short of the Firth, which I believe is accurate. The later shading represents a the cultural division between the partially Romanized Romano-British and the parts of the region that show significantly less Roman influence in the archaeology. The video probably could have explained that better.
They were invasions not migrations

@@dagmarvandoren9364Your remark suggests you have no interest at all in the topic of migration and I am wonerinf if and why you watched this video at all. You are effectively saying that migration does not matter.

You are Roman for sure. So, you have to pay reparation for 500 years subjugating and exploation locals. One you'll pay this then you have to pay reparation together wih locals and Saxons the reparation to India and all other colonies. Anyway, bring back The diamond Kohinur to India. The best would be, you give the diamond to Indians and their ancestors who live in the UK and ask them to go home to India.
Dont laugh Im deadly serious.
Neanderthal taking the enslavement of Africans for a joke
If you want reparations go find my ancestors because it had nothing to do with me. Oh wait it had nothing to do with them either, they were just farmers. The ones doing the work, not the ones who owned the farm. And there was definitely no slavery involved. If there had been, my ancestors would probably have been out of a job.

Scotland got its name from the Scoti clan who came from Ireland, the west of scotland was settled by irish gaels called the dalriata then intigrating with the picts to form the Kingdom of Alba. Thats why there is a scottish gaelic language different from the irish gaelic language. Scotland and Ireland have been connected through migrations for 1000s of years, thats why we have the same prefixs for some family names Mc/Mac 🙂
Yep, the scoti were irish that moved to what is now called Scotland. And as a result the country was named after them. However in the video describing Ireland as scot is wrong,there were multiple tribes in Ireland not just one and their name was scoti not scot

It was neither a hostile take over nor a peaceful invitation by the locals. It was a slow and long influx of immigrants coming into Briton, from the Low Countries, who were trying to avoid the hostilities and uncertainties brought about by the military collapse of the Western Roman Empire.
sure
The distribution of place names in -ton, -tun, -tuna shows overwhelming presence in Britain and a large part of the district of Pas-de-Calais and very sparse elsewhere in the Germanic-speaking world. Meaning probably that people fleeing the attacks of the Huns camped in the neighborhood of the city of Calais before ferrying over to Britain, not unlikely what happens today.
So it's kinda like what's happening now?
true, the way he talks, is like they came over at the same time with the intention of becoming Anglo-Saxon, when they were clearly two different peoples of the same heritage. it took centuries, by the time it had fully taken over, they had been invaded by both Norman soldiers and Norse soldiers.

Fundamentally I don't think you answered your question. The geology of modern day Denmark's soil is poor. The 3 Germanic tribes also had a population explosion. So they had to simply immigrate to better land.
If you're suggesting it was push factors more than pull, then it's "emigrate from" more than "immigrate to".

Yeah, there is not much evidence for large-scale violence. Seems it was more of displacing the locals westward or mixing. I still don't have a good explanation for the linguistic dominance given the relative lack ethnic violence.
@@nytracus9680 yeah, your right. When archeologics dig down to Saxon times they find no red soil which is evident of conflict.

@PHTraining probably like how English dominates science and business today. I guess they were better traders or just had better words for things that caught on. I heard once old Welsh only had words for about 4 diff colours, which if true, gives an idea of how limited it may have been.
@PHTraining What books have you been reading? The majority of modern White English have Saxon DNA whilst certain areas have smatterings of Viking DNA. Particularly areas of the North West and North East There is almost zero ' Celtic ' DNA in England save a minute amount in Cornwall, and the Isle of Man.

Wales is a self-governing nation within Great Britain. It has it's own distinctive language and culture, as have Scotland and Northern Ireland. None are part of England. Honestly, I get fed up with foreigners who think the British Isles consists of London. Most of us hate the place.
Me too! 👎They should stick to something they know about! Mae nhw’n DWPS!😂Cymru am byth!🏴✊
Of course the Welsh are mad. They used to have the island to themselves.
as a yankee, I agree with you. It's like people calling us America...we are the United states. If we were in Asia, we would be the united states of Asia. If we were in europe...africa...United states of Europe...US of africa. America is not our name, yet ignorant people keep calling us America like its our name, its the continents name...
Most people think the UK is united....many call them British and call UK England, or Britain. But its called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and northern Ireland. Seems like you're as united as you were with the EU before Brexit....same island, vastly different opinions. Good job big brother, you made a great impression on your little brother...

Thanks. I heard, since high school, THAT they took over what is now England, but I never knew WHY they did so, until about two weeks ago, when I finally typed in the question (I always wanted to know why), and I read the same two reasons that you mentioned, here. (Or, pretty much the same reasons). One article said they were seeking more "fertile land" than what they had in their homeland, and then a separate article said the Romans "recruited" Angle soldiers. Your video, here, confirmed both those reasons.
Also, in a way, we could say that we speak "Angleish." Because, "Angle" tribe, then "Angleland" (turned "English").
Now it is all full of military aged Muslim men...
Britain's future 😒
There is a solution, it just isn't palatable yet :)
And that condition is prophecied to the countries suffering it because same countries are of the so-called lost 10 tribes of Israel. Including the United States and British countries.
The prophecy is in two parts, requiring action by the Infiltrated countries,
🔺 Deuteronomy 28: 1 - 14
Or
🔺 Deuteronomy 28: 15 - 68.
"the stranger among you" is the aforementioned infiltrating multitudes.

The Normans didn’t change English culture, they adapted it and assimilated.
@@phoenixrose1192 There was at least some give and take as evidenced by the changes to the English language after the Norman invasion. The Normans also brought with them Continental-style Feudalism, along with chivalry.
@@hhale Well yes, they added to it whilst assimilating but they didn’t replace it and change it completely. There’s a reason why there’s no such thing as a “Norman culture”, they adopted ours in England.
to the detriment of the world.
@@phoenixrose1192 Wrong. They changed English Culture massively. The whole hierarchy of Britain. Art and Language, and Religious practices in particular. The Normans are why we still have French terms when it comes to Commerce and Government as opposed to everyday common language for things like roads, hills, towns etc which are derived directly from Saxon English.
Obviously for the great weather ...

I'm just amazed that when the Romans left they left so little genetic traces behind, at first I couldn't believe it. They were clearly keeping themselves distinct enough from the natives that they could all just pack up one day and go back to Rome.
Because Denmark didn't have any Bacon.

@@stephenphillips7699 sounds cute
The more a person knows about their own history, the less they have grounds for complaining about immigrants and refugees coming to their country.
Horseshit.
Nobody needs Muslims and other bullshit
You got that right !
The difference is these peoples were all racially European and had shared genetic interests as well as easily established racial cohesion. There would not have been any acceptance or mixing of a genuine foreigner in society. We can see this with the Norse in Greenland; Norsemen regularly traded and interacted with the other locals, yet, examination of the DNA of the last remnants of the colonies show absolutely no mixing between the two. They also very harshly described the Natives in Canada, despite having, at first, peaceful relationships with them. There was also a darker skinned person in Scandinavia itself, accompanied by someone of high status, yet, it was recorded that he was the ugliest and most vile thing they’ve ever seen. The Norse had no problems invading and then mixing with Slavs (far more genetically different than anglo-saxons and celts), but truly non-europeans would’ve never been touched (outside of a few aberrant individuals).
Furthermore, the locals themselves perhaps invited them, rather than a political elite with zero shared genetic interest. A similar thing happened in the east… The slavic tribes invited Swedes to rule them. There was no inviting arabs or asians to rule over them, let alone acceptance of migration. The migration to Britain was practically an internal migration. You’re an utter cretin for wanting to destroy your people, progress, science, and the future. You seriously want to import 80 IQ religious fanatics? disgusting.
@@brianarbenz1329 Truly are a cretin😂 You are comparing the recent history of Europe in which there was and is a strong sense and development of political thought, patriotism, and the well-established idea of sovereignty to the time of the migration. Hell, this can barely be compared to even the 18th century.
They made new territories with such interesting and cool names, and then there's Kent.
Nonsense. They went because they knew they could get a nice cuppa.
We remember only Viking pirates, whilst forgetting that they were peaceful, hardworking land workers. Both explorers & settlers, & not just these imagined crash & bang characters!
" peaceful"
Lmao they weren't peaceful whatsoever.
This is why it's best that Indians do not talk about European history 😂
I trust you are being sarcastic?
I'm old now and in all my life haven't heard or read a word of anything good the Vikings did anciently.
@@senatorjosephmccarthy2720 It stems from some stupid American TV series called “Vikings” on their “History channel”, don’t waste your time watching that inaccurate tripe. 🙄
"peaceful" - which is why the legend of Arthur Pendragon had him fighting off Saxon invaders.
England back then had immigration problem people coming on boats
Yeah it seems to be a rather annoying habit of others to do to the British Isles. A smart leader would reinforce our borders, but...I guess they are too busy being a dicktator

Yup... No mention of Asian, Africa or the Middle-East....
Don't let them convince you that they were there all along.

@@patkelly8309 You should watch it. Essentially Britain was inhabited by Celts that the Anglo-Saxons exterminated.

Nonsense , Huns were invading Europe pushing locals west. That's why the Romans pulled out of Britain in the first place & defeated them at the battle of Orleans.
@@bobsakamanos4469 Rome couldn't do it. They needed the Germanic tribes, the Visigoths to be a bit more precise, in order to stop the Huns in 451. That's 4 decades after they left Britain
@@SirBedevereTheWise many centuries of fighting hun on the continent who were pushing germanic tribes west, including francs into Gaul. That's why the battle was in Gaul, not Germania. Romans/Alans fought that battle.
are you...."having or showing a great lack of intelligence or common sense."?
Romans didn't pull out because of the Hunts. The battle of Orleans took place HUNDREDS of years after the Anglo-Saxons were defeated by william the conqueror in 1066. Battle of Orleans was part of the hundred years war in 1400.....your off by about 1,000 years....stop doing drugs
they was in britain as roman legionaire, someone rest as mercenaire and at the last they decide to occupy all
Does this means the Scotts have a right to deffend themselves?? 🤔
no
"Sussex" must hold the world record for the most poorly aged city name
Love from NORTHERN PAKISTAN
That's why English is similar to German
There was also a sea level rise flooding much of the Low Countries. Gotta look at the whole picture.
That sea level rise was thousands of years before Anglo-Saxon invasion/ migration. The sea level rise was in direct response to the retreat of glaciers which was thousands of years earlier.
There was a cometary cataclysm which included not only general destruction but also plague which killed most people whereas germanic tribes survived due to their healthy diet based on meat
No link though
calling the welsh english is a bad bad idea
Wow amazing initiative information 😢
What is to say that the only indigenous people on these islands are the Irish?
Technically the isles had no indigenous people. It isn't attached to any continent, so the first people to settle there would have also been foreign, and probably would have had to be advanced enough to make boats.

The celts were in ireland..not thr scots!
What are you talking about and why have 4 people liked this? The Scots were Irish. Before they came to what is now called Scotland it was inhabited by the Picts. The Scots came over from Ireland. And they are celts, numbnuts. Both the Picts and the Scots were celtic.
Celt is a blanket term that once consisted of countless cultures across Europe. Gaels are Celtics, Scots were Gaels.
Thats why English is just a kind of German language. 😊
They were conquerors, settlers, and explorers, not migrants. ENGLAND FOR THE ENGLISH!
