Also, Britain was colonised earlier by Anatolian farmers (See: Mass Migrations into Bronze Age Britain) - and they still make up the majority of the British, especially in the west of the country.

Tolkien was German. Shakespeare was Welsh.

Tolkien based his mythology of England on the far older British (Welsh) and Scandinavian (Norwegian and Finnish) mythology.

@skp8748 I have heard that rumour, apparently there is some evidence to suggest it was a high to do Welsh women, and The person passed of As Shakespeare was a ghost writer designed to hide this fact, as Women weren’t allowed to do such things in this era. One piece of evidence for it not being him was he never taught his children to read or write, which strikes one a bit weird seeing how he was this amazing author and poet.

His family came from Prussia, he was born in South Africa, but he grew up in England and considered himself English.

Just because Tolkien based his creations on the mythology of other cultures doesnt mean what he produced wasn't or isnt inherently English. The same way we consider roman culture roman even though significant portions of it stemmed from the nearby Greeks and Etruscans.

To me, the early Anglo-Saxon raids and eventual conquests in the British Isles, were but a first wave of north Germanic conquests in that region. The second major wave, of course being the Viking era. Then in 1066, a rather ironic twist… After a swinging pendulum, going between Norse and A.Saxon rule (The pendulum being on the A.Saxon side at this current time) the hybrid Normans swooped in to change, irreparably, the history of the British Isles forever.

You forgot the most closest group, Frisians? The old english is old frisian. DNA of frisians is known in UK.

@@jacquelinevanderkooij4301 I knew there were settlements with Frisian names, but the overwhelming majority were Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. Old English wasn't Old Frisian, they were distinct languages, related closely sure, but not the exact same. Old English and Old Frisian are both Yngvaeonic/North Sea Germanic languages, and they were closely related, and yes, probably many did come over, but most were Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. Frisians and North Germans are kind of our long lost brothers, I would say Danes too but they more or less colonized Jutland, their main ancestors were from Southern Sweden and the Danish isles, they took over after many of the Jutes and Angles left. I never heard of Frisian DNA being found, my question there is how were they able to distinguish it from Angle, Saxon, or Jutish DNA, they were all Yngvaeonic, and plus, Germanic people at this time were very homogenous to the point that even telling Danes apart from Anglo-Saxons is genetically difficult, so since Frisians are even closer, the genetics should be even more hard to discern.

A long and close relationship with the English? Norwegians? I don't think so. I'm a Brit married to a Norwegian and living in Norway since 2013. I've never really sensed any noteworthy relationship between Britain and Norway. Nor has any close relationship ever been documented historically. Norway is certainly extracting far too much from the UK economy, though. And it begs the question why so many Brits with a legal right to reside in Norway are still waiting for a new residency card after 2 years. Including me, as it happens, with among the simplest of cases to assess, being married to a Norwegian regardless where I come from. If anything, any relationship between Britain and Norway has deteriorated badly. Personally, I expect a new British government to seize all Norway oligarchs UK-held assets at some point. That'll put the relationship into perspective.

​@@johnmcmullan9741 Well we definitely have some strong historical connections. A couple of examples being the Norwegian influence on the English language. Or how in WW2, the Norwegian king and government created a government-in-exile in London. The British military also helped train and organise Norwegian commandos to attack Nazi installations in Norway.

@@BirdsfromHuntingdon Norwegian influence on the English language? According to who? Apart from a few place names on the east coast, where Norse refugees settled, after fleeing the vikings, any similarities are more likely due to having a common source from the north coast of the continent, which traveled across the English Channel or to Norway via Denmark. The probability of Norway, which has always been on the periphery of civilisation, being a source of any useful culture is vanishingly small. It's simply not how things work. The further north you are in Europe, the more of a sink you become for culture. Both the ancient Greeks and the Romans, and later the British, observed and documented Norway as 'full of barbarians of no use'. And Norway's history - missing all major periods of progress and development in Europe - the renaissances, Enlightenment, Scientific and Industrial revolutions, etc., says it all.

@@BirdsfromHuntingdon Note too that Norway was more in support of the Nazis during WWII. Churchill had his suspicions and demanded the Norwegians 'pulled their thumbs out' more than once. The resistance in Norway was tiny. Most Norwegians supported Germany, not the Allies. The levels of consensual relations and cooperation between the Nazis and Norwegian population demonstrates this, in reality. Norway undeniably helped protect much needed resources travelling from Scandinavia to Germany. The Nazis didn't invade Norway. The Norwegians accommodated them. Note the Norway government fled to save themselves. It was the Norway government who rejected an Anglo-French force being stationed in Norway. That decision had little to do with being neutral. Norway had very close relations with Germany (not Britain) going back to the 14th century and the Hanseatic League. Even today the Norwegians glorify Germany and express anti-British sentiments. You just have to listen carefully, that's all. It's almost as if many of them have never given up on the 'Greater Germanic Reich'. Norway is not a trustworthy partner of Britain. It never has been.

But then, the majority of those invaders, and the subsequent ruling elites, wanted nothing better than to be Roman themselves.

@@samr.england613 very interesting, thank you. I may have missed it in the video but are the English from a specific area in Germany/Scandanavia? Or were they a collection of tribes that came together to form the English or Anglo-Saxons?

@@user-zk4td4hs2j People have inhabited the big island that we now know as Britain since at least Neolithic Stone Age times. The native Celtic peoples were the predominant group when the Romans invaded the island around 46 AD. The Romans were there until around 400 AD, when they abandoned their province of Brittannia in order to regroup and defend the empire from external invaders. Almost immediately after the Romans evacuated, the Angles and Saxons, from northwestern Germany, saw an opportunity, and began invading Britain for over 2 and 1/2 centuries or more, hence our modern name for 'Angleland', or England, Following those invasions, the Vikings (largely Norwegians and Danish) at first raided the eastern and southern coasts of Britian, and then eventually settled on the island, mixing with the original Celtic and Romanized Brits, as well as the Anglo-Saxons. Later, the Norman French conquest of England (1066) cemented the basic cultural and ethnic make-up of modern England, but not the whole of the island, as the Welsh and Scottish, for centuries, have maintained their Keltic heritage.

Viking was a profession, not heritage. It was ended by the English 1066AD

@@Lee_Enfield1895 A lot of English people already had mixed ancestories by 1066 - being the result of generations of intermarriage between Anglo-Saxons and Viking settlers, especially in the North and the East of England. The complicated, highly inflected and "synthetic" Old English language ( a bit a la modern German 😬 ) of the AS peoples was completely restructured and dramatically simplified beyond recognition (!) within just 100 - 150 years, as it clashed - or merged rather - with the closely related Old Norse language and also adopted a lot of basic ON words in the proces, as it transitioned into the analytical (caseless + more fixed word orders ) Middle English - a sort of new Germanic creole base language, which over time also absorbed a lot of French and Latin words on top of it. This is also the main reason that English even today is a fairly easy language to learn for Danes as well as the other Scandinavians with their very similar languages.

The English are all native. They're literally the direct descendants from the first settlers in the stone age. We have the DNA to prove it. The English are as you say are Celtic-Germanic peoples.

Proud Englishman. Who's afraid?

Unfortunately, these days, the conquered.

How did you work that out? Family knowledge or research?

@@hannah51238 How do you mean? Oh yeah sorry, some research my family has done and also DNA tests and research I've done. We were able to trace our family back to the doomsday book and from that you can basically deduce that Side of my family most likely came over with the Anglos and the Saxons...the other sides name and family are old Brythons so post Roman invasion they can take their side to Wales. The other sides in Ireland are a lot harder but both names go waaay back, up in the north and south. The one name I can say is (Ryan) which has a lot of history behind the name.

​@@hannah51238even the English are predominantly Anglo-Celts.

@@gazibizi9504 Shhh! I think with some Anglophiles this is not too popular, Celtic DNA throughout English family tree's! It is amazing!

@@kevinquinn225why’s that not popular?

Is your Germanic ancestry from Danish merchants during the Viking age or German ancestry from the crusader period? Or do you have light traits that causes you to conjecture or is this from a very well detailed ancestry family tree in your genealogy or dna test? Sorry I hope I wasn't rudely coming off as being inquisitive 😅 just curios

😂 pink skin Neanderthal

@@noahtylerpritchett2682 No, I appreciate the question. So a couple of things. It's not my looks, it's my genes. It's true that I have light skin, and even had blonde hair as a kid (now it's brown). My grandma and many other family members have blue eyes as well. But that's not why. Cuz lots of Lebanese people have those features, it goes back to the mixing of ancient people during the Phoenician times. And a little bit from the crusades as well. We also have Canaanite genes, that's our main ancestry. But no, I found this out when I did dna tests with MyTrueAncestry and Genomoelink and others. They give you ancient results, and I consistently got northern euorpean, most consistently German. In Genomelink I did get Danish, but it was a small percent, like only 1.5. So I don't flaunt that lol. But it's good to know. That might have been from the Vikings being there, I don't think we can be sure, but maybe.

@@freepagan *northern* Germany?

@@noahtylerpritchett2682 Not sure. But I think their dna is similar throughout, if I'm not mistaken.

I think its the mediaeval English(After Scandinavian come to England) but the earliest English,I mean 1st ancient English is actually German(from Anglo Saxon).But Scandinavian Germanic too right?idk?

Pride parades and drag queen children's parties are the pinnacles of the modern world you created I suppose.

where do you come from? lets see what you offer the world. make sure to reply in English though. @@toast2610

Good for u to know ur true ancestor

Yes. But the genetic studies that I have read for over 15 years contradict each other. It is really complicated to achieve a certain reliability of the results (sampling, methodology, mathematical modeling and calculation of probabilities, etc.). Just a good understanding of these studies requires a good scientific level. So, I prefer not to get carried away. In this video we are told that the Anglo-Saxons were the majority of the population until the Norman Conquest and that afterward there was a mass migration of French-speaking Gaulish-Normans, who would make up 33% (40% in certain areas) of the current population of England! I don't mind at all, but it all leaves me skeptical. I'm waiting for the next study which will prove me otherwise...and then the following...The anthropology of the last century was based on physical appearance, skull form, colour of skin, eyes, hair...to establish racial classifications. This pseudo-science, used by the Nazis to justify their vile, gruesome and dreadful crimes against humanity, has been completely refuted. Let us not fall into the trap of population genetics used for non-scientific objectives. DNA is just quantified scientific data, but its use can be diverted for ideological purposes.🤔 ​

You have the strongest heritage and genes in the world, congratulations.

true, but the Romans never conquered Northern Germany and the Romano-Britons were mostly killed or driven off. There isn't much Romano-Briton DNA in modern English people.

@@Dushmann_ my point is Roman culture and language has influenced all of Europe. The Anglo-Saxons were mercenaries of Rome and assimilated the native Britons. We have a lot of Celtic blood from the Briton women mostly.

This is spot in. Its impossible to have a Western European identity which is not hugely influenced by the Romans. @@M.Vinca17

​@@Dushmann_this is false the majority of the modern English genome is romano Briton. You people watch too much vikings and read too much the last kingdom

It is pride that emotionally blinds one from reality. Without Roman technology, those on the island of UK today would still be very primitive, as all of northern Europe was when Tacitus wrote about the primitive Germanic tribes, north of Rome, 2000 years ago. The Nazis were very blinded by their deep-seated inferiority complex, clearly ignoring the Romans who were far superior in technology and power than Germanic tribes up north 2000 years ago, so Nazis tried to travel elsewhere around the globe in the 1930s to make up some silly delusion of the 'superior' Germanic people. The Germanic peoples only gained in technology after the fall of Rome. They took Roman technology and education and built on it further. History shows this clearly. There was no equivalent to Rome in northern Europe 2000 years ago.

Yes that's the nowadays English,but the true English is 100% germanic from Dutch and German(not Celts from Wales and Scotland) because of the earliest form of English language(ancient English)is Anglo Saxon

Word, its my last name

So you're german?

@@skp8748 I, like lots of Europeans, am a kind of European mutt I guess. Irish, English, German and Norwegian make the bulk of my ancestry.

There isn’t! Anglo-Saxon was an invention created by the De-Medici family. The people of England are in fact Lloegrians. And Henghist and Horsa were from the Cimbri Tribe of Jutland. Hence why the Cymru invited them over to Britain. They were kin!

@@WalesTheTrueBritons All kinds of different tribes of related people with different names..the Angles and the Saxons definitely existed, the Jutes did too but that name didn't become part of the title.

The Germanic people of Western Europe created this world. The rest of the world bent the knee in one way or another...music, art, literature, science (all branches), technology, conquests, philosophy, political theory and on and on. What came out of this small corner of existence changed everyone's existence.

Churchill fucked up Gave all power to inbred corrupt rebel usa instead of siding with brother Germany

All people are brothers. That s why you lost two world wars The people rose up against you

​​​​@@davidhallett8783If being honest...Germanic nation caused it (both world wars) and Germanic nations defeated it. The United States founding fathers were of such origin. White northern european. Who speak a germanic language. English.

@@user-nt4ln9uf2oBritish = English, Scottish, Welsh, Manx, and Northern Irish.

The Britons are the indigenous native peoples of the whole island. English are Johnny come lately types with a mere 1500 years of history in Britain.

@@andrewwhelan7311 that mixed in with the iron age Britons, did you even watch the video you moron?, he literally says the romano british assimilated a mixed with the English, one was found in an Germanic burial ritual even. It's been 1600 almost and do you know how many generations that is? how many millions of people?, they married into Brythonic noble families and i'm pretty sure free peoples married in between each other for generations so by today it's proven and easy to say the english have as much Brythonic blood as anglo saxon, actually the have more, the English have more Brythonic DNA then Germanic. the new Zealand maoi only inhabited new Zealand for a thousand years and are considered indigenous

I'm Mexican American. And I am confused right now. I thought British and English were the same thing

Wtf 😂

Romans

@@theorderofeli The Roman’s, the Greeks… 👍

Thanks for the acknowledgement and not trying to change history because of your own personal opinion on the country today. The kind of ignorance that you often see here, written by the kind of people who write “wtf”

but what an incredible and positive influence they have had on human civilisation: invention of the concentration camp, slavery on mass scale , etc

It's not "cool" to admit you're of English ancestry like Irish or Italian etc It's like it's frowned up. Most Americans actually come from English descent but claimed in the most recent census that they were Irish and German

Cambridge is trying to get you to understand terms like "insular Celt" and "Anglo-Saxon" would have been meaningless to the people who are alleged to be such things. they would have thought of themselves with regard to specific tribes or other local affiliations. these terms are modern inventions.

​@@perfectallycromulentThis dude gets it. Folks, put your toys back in the box labeled "ahistorical labels" and get with the program, it's really not as bad as you think

​@@pedrosampaio7349Stop being so naïve.

​@@perfectallycromulentSo what? They're still helpful for understanding the past. The Navajo likely didn't think of themselves as Athabascan speakers before recently; do we get rid of that term, too? Ethnogenesis is a complicated field, but the group exists now, and it came from somewhere, and regardless of their feelings on the matter, we know where it came from and who was involved, and including them in that group is hardly ahistorical. Everyone existed as tribes throughout history. This is just overcomplicating the issue for the sake of legitimising ethnic Erasure, and you wouldn't stand for it if it were being done to a group you didn't loathe.

@@perfectallycromulentthis is new, didn’t most of those tribes actively self identify as having a shared origin, culture, religion, even forebears in the way of Hengist and Horsa? And the Saxons certainly self identified with the term giving us Essex, Wessex, Sussex etc? It’s almost like a deliberate effort to eradicate terms with a thinly veiled political agenda. I’m of Irish descent personally and have no personal horsa in this “race” pardon the pun - still, it’s attempting to cleanse history of common knowledge!

The Franks may have been Germanic, but Many of the first leaders of “France” were of Celtic origin. Which is understandable as a lot of Gallic people remained in France after Macsens fight for his throne in Rome. Most of Western Europe are of Celtic origin as opposed to Germanic, a lot of pockets in Switzerland and Italy too.

@@WalesTheTrueBritons I'm aware that the French are mostly of Gallo-Roman descent and that the Franks were only a ruling elite, but that's why i said that as a Dutchman i would be interested in learning more about them because my language originated from them. You're also right about Switzerland, Austria is such a case too, hell Hallstatt where the proto-Celtic culture got it's name from is there.

@@WalesTheTrueBritons Lol your attempt at being a smart ass failed :D

@@kimashitawa8113 I've just watched a new Time Team episode here on RU-vid. Archeologists were digging an early post Roman cemetery in East Anglia and the most prestigious grave good that they discovered (a pendant on a female) was of Frankish origin. The team theorised that she was possibly sent to Frankia to be educated and aquired the pendant whilst there.

I would love this also

Who else, besides other European peoples and perhaps the Japanese, have a history worth erasing?

​@@John.Flower.ProductionsI would argue for the Chinese, Aztecs, Arabs, Indians and Turks. All of those built civilizations and managed to form empires. Also all of those managed to influence their regions culturally as hegemons. If one does not few the Russians and US-Americans as Europeans those two cultures certainly also can't be overlooked here.

@@derKrampus I would not deny the respective histories of those people(s) but the question is: _Who else, besides other European peoples and perhaps the Japanese, have a history worth erasing?_

Imagine being from here and not really ever finding out which side I the fence you were from? Cheerio from Southern part of the Vale Of York. Close by runs the River Aire, the River Derwent and the River Ouse.

haha, both traditions ... Italy history is insane - like the English.
