Sorry, you a wrong. The Britons did see themselves as one people during the Saxon incursions into Welsh speaking Kingdoms of Rhedeg, Pengwern, Ercing. Ewyas, Alt Clut, Y Gododdin. May I refer to the Welsh word, Cymry. Which means, compatriot in Cymraeg. There were many Brittonic tribal areas who referred to themselves as identity for its heartland in Wales, areas of northern England, Southern & Central Scotland i. e. Cymru, Cumbria, Cumberland, Cumbernauld, Cumknock, among many other once Welsh Kingdoms lost to the Irish Scotti in Scotland in Cymraeg as Hen Ogledd (Old North) or kingdoms & territories stolen by the Germanic invaders in what is now called England and referred to as Lloegr translating as, Lost Lands.

Mr.
And as an American The only things we were taught about Britain were that we were former a British colony we start getting taxed really harshly, we declare independence, Britain and France have a bit of a war (not much was thought about that, England helped us in World war 2 and play the bit of a major part in World War 1, and then pretty much how the British treated the Indian people (im not talking about the Native Americans Im talking about the people of India, and thats about it

Jutes- the name means Gigglers- they were fond of humor, jokes. they had orange or carrot-coloured hair. Jutes could have great physical beauty. I don't believe there are any Jutes around anymore; I think they developed some self-oriented, separatist conception, not good for duration. Jutes were one of the three Celtic tribes, Fles, Saxons and Jutes. Angles is a less correct name for Fles, and is a little deceptive. Frisians were the Q'ritani, or Anglican peoples.

Eostre is NOT the root for the word, or celebration of Easter! This word association of Eostre --> Easter is pure myth propagated at the turn of the 20th century by Alexander Hislop's widely discredited book The Two Babylon's.
Easter is an Anglicisation of the old Teutonic word auferstehung (going through several iterations over the centuries. which basically meant sunrise, or connoted resurrection!

How do we know the romans left Britannia in 410? A letter from a provincial official who wrote to the head of the roman naval squadron in gaul. He asked for ships to help repel raids on the east coast. His reply was essentially you guys are still here? We have our hands full; congratulations on your independence, and good luck.
They didnt so much leave as forget about Britannia.

Wait, Im not knowledgeable enough but can some explain to me. Angles and Saxons came from present day Denmark, but didn't the Danes they will eventually go to war centuries later mostly come from present day Denmark as well? So, by a long shot, the Danes were fighting their ancestors?

Sorry for taking the video down, there was a glaring issue with some of the later part of the video. This was down to an issue with my editing software.
Very sorry about that. The next video is Alfred the Great, though. So you'll get Vikings next week.

I've heard a theory that tried to point the Saxons as not Germanic; however, rather as a people of Scythian origin who were in Gemania, which suffered Germanic influence and was confused by straying among Germanic peoples and tribes for a long time.

Proud to be English
England was created by the Anglo-Saxons, Britons, and Norse. They are my ancestors. My culture, language and values, exist because of them. Yes I am proud

Enjoyed that, though it's a shame you didn't cover Alfred (ironically it's not an usual name in Denmark, it translates as all peace.
How come you never mention the slave trade?

The narrator speaks way too fast. you forget immediately what he just said. It would have been much easier to follow and take in if the video was 15 mins instead of the rushed 10

I am more favorable to the Roman-Britannica origin of King Arthur. By which I refer to the 2nd Century's General known as Lucius Artorius Castus of gens Artoria.

One should not dispel what someone wrote 500 years after a supposed event while narrating events that were not documented until 300 years later. Ironic much?

Correct me if I'm wrong - I thought the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle was the main source of information for the period known as the 'dark ages'?
