you want to get an argument started in the area of Anglo-Saxon studies,
just raise the question of who the Jutes were, and where they came from!</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">I
believe the current idea is that while they may have at some stage come
from the Jylland peninsula, their home prior to invading southern
Britain was somewhere round the Rhine Delta. They seem to have had
close ties with the Franks, both before and after English settlement,
again suggesting a location sout of modern Denmark.</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">But
the Geats (the people of the epic Anglo-Saxon hero Beowulf) have been
linked to the Jutes, and they seem to come from Scania in southern
Sweden. The East Angles also seem had pre-Viking Swedish connections,
being related to the Vendel culture.</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Then there is the question
of when, and where, the sound-shifts that created the specific North
Germanic group. Did the "Scandinavianising" of areas like Denmark
happen in situ, or did new people come in?</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">The only thing you can be sure of, is that nobody seems too sure...
