Extractions: The migration of the Lost 10 Tribes of Israel shows the spread of the Birthright throughout what is now Europe, Great Britain and Northern Africa. This major migration took around 1200 years, it started in 721 BCE and covered the Middle East, all of Europe and North Africa. Starting in 721 BCE the Tribes of Israel moved north east through Assyria to Parthia, where they settled for some 900 years. Around 200 CE the major movements occurred north west across Europe to what it now the northern parts of the Netherlands and Germany. The tribes moved in Europe for the next two to three centuries. Between 400 and 500 CE the migration moved north into Scandanavia which was the home of the Finns who were part of the Magyar or Hun horde which had invaded Europe 1200 years before. Migration to the west was into Britain with it's Angles, Saxons and Jutes. To the south east the Lombards (sub tribe of the Anglo Saxons) and Ostrogoths migrated into what is now Italy. At the same time there was also movement to south west through Iberia. The Suevi settled in what is now Portugal and the Visigoths into what is now Spain displacing the Vandals who moved into northern Africa to a revolt there. The Heruli (the most unstable of all the tribes) moved into Dalmatia and what is now Croatia. The Allemanni Teutons also moved into Switzerland.

Extractions: Introduction The years between the collapse of the Roman government in Britain in the early years of the fifth century and the arrival of St Augustine at the end of the sixth were a period of significant change. During that time, the physical character of the people and their language and institutions were completely altered. A Germanic people replaced the Celtic British, or at least became a significant part of the population of lowland Britain. Germanic dialects replaced Latin or Celtic and loose knit and feuding hereditary kingships replaced the more centrally governed Roman provinces. Because this change took place while the Germanic immigrants were pagan and illiterate, the process was not well recorded. Traditionally, the first Germanic warband arrived in Britain in the mid fifth century to serve as mercenary troops at the invitation of the British sub-Roman government. When the government failed in their agreement to supply them, these troops revolted. This revolt touched a significant part of the country. Then, the first settlers invited their relatives from overseas to join them. At the beginning of the sixth century, the Germanic peoples rapid spread through the country was checked for a time by the British, but by the mid sixth century they started to expand again. By the time of Augustine's arrival, they controlled much of the lowlands and were expanding to the north and west.

Extractions: 26 October 899 When the Gospel was first preached in Britain, the island was inhabited by Celtic peoples. In the 400's, pagan Germanic tribes, the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, invaded Britain and drove the Christian Celts out of what is now England into Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. The new arrivals (called collectively the Anglo-Saxons) were then converted by Celtic missionaries moving in from the one side and Roman missionaries moving in from the other. (They then sent missionaries of their own, such as Boniface, to their pagan relatives on the Continent.) In the 800's the cycle partly repeated itself, as the Christian Anglo-Saxons were invaded by the Danes, pagan raiders, who rapidly conquered the northeast portion of England. They seemed about to conquer the entire country and eliminate all resistance when they were turned back by Alfred, King of the West Saxons. In his later years, having secured a large degree of military security for his people, Alfred devoted his energies to repairing the damage that war had done to the cultural life of his people. He translated Boethius's Consolations of Philosophy into Old English, and brought in scholars from Wales and the Continent with whose help various writings of Bede, Augustine of Canterbury, and Gregory the Great were likewise translated. He was much impressed by the provisions in the Law of Moses for the protection of the rights of ordinary citizens, and gave order that similar provisions should be made part of English law. He promoted the education of the parish clergy. In one of his treatises, he wrote:

Extractions: Sidonius Appollinaris, landowner, poet and later bishop, writing about Saxon raiders in 470 AD (from The Anglo-Saxons by James Campbell) 'Anglo-Saxon' is used as a catch-all phrase to refer to the Germanic peoples who invaded and settled in England in large numbers during the fifth and sixth centuries AD. As well as the Angles (who came from the southern part of the Danish peninsula and eventually gave their name to England) and the Saxons (who came from the north German plain to the west), there were also Jutes From raiders to invaders The Romans used the term 'Saxon' to refer to all of the various tribes who inhabited the north German plain between the Elbe and the Weser and the south of what is now Denmark. These peoples had been raiding the coasts of eastern and southern Britain and northern Europe as far west as Spain since the third century AD. By the end of the fourth century, together with the Picts (from Scotland) and the Scots (from Ireland), they were menacing the frontiers of Roman Britain from all sides. The collapse of Roman authority in Britain in the early fifth century left the native Britons exposed to these enemies. Over the coming centuries, the raiders became invaders and settlers, conquering and transforming the country as they came.

Extractions: Part 4: The Anglo Saxon Period Commonly ascribed to the monk Gildas, the "De Excidio Britanniae" (the loss of Britain), was written about 540. As previously mentioned, it is not a good history, for it is most mere polemic. Closely followed by Bede, the account is the first to narrate what has traditionally been regarded as the story of the coming of the Saxons to Britain. Their success, regarded by Gildas as God's vengeance against the Britons for their sins, was a theme repeated by Bede isolated in his monastery in the north. We note, however, that Gildas made the statement that, in his own day, the Saxons were not warring against the Britons. We can be certain that the greater part of the pre-English inhabitants of England survived, and that a great proportion of present-day England is made up of their descendants. To answer the question how did the small number of invaders come to master the larger part of Britain? John Davies gives us part of the answer: the regions seized by the newcomers were mainly those that had been most thoroughly Romanized, regions where traditions of political and military self-help were at their weakest. Those who chafed at the administration of Rome could only have welcomed the arrival of the English in such areas as Kent and Sussex, in the southeast. Another compelling reason cited by Davies is the emergence in Britain of the great plague of the sixth century from Egypt that was particularly devastating to the Britons who had been in close contact with peoples of the Mediterranean. Be that as it may, the emergence of England as a nation did not begin as a result of a quick, decisive victory over the native Britons, but a result of hundreds of years of settlement and growth, more settlement and growth, sometimes peaceful, sometimes not. If it is pointed out that the native Celts were constantly warring among themselves, it should also be noted that so were the tribes we now collectively term the English, for different kingdoms developed in England that constantly sought domination through conquest. Even Bede could pick out half a dozen rulers able to impose some kind of authority upon their contemporaries.

Its achievements are legion - at one stage its empire existed on all the continents of the world except Antarctica. Its language became the second most widely spoken language on earth (after Chinese) - its writers, poets and playwrights were the greatest the world has ever seen since the days of the Greek classics - and its history and culture has become ingrained in the traditions of many people on earth. Britain was also directly responsible for the initial mass settlement of the North American continent that, together with immigrants from the rest of Europe, created the giant that became America. The industrial revolution, which it spearheaded, shaped the infrastructure of the current world. Yet it is a small island, barely over half the size of France. The history of this island of kings and queens is remarkable one and worthy of an overview. Unfortunately much of English history is also filled with incessant petty squabbling and infighting.

But where, oh where, are the Jutes? The Venerable Bede records the arrival of large numbers of Germanic settlers in Britain beginning in the 430s, and notes: They came from three very powerful Germanic tribes, the Saxons, Angles and Jutes. The people of Kent and the inhabitants of the Isle of Wight are of Jutish origin, and also those opposite the Isle of Wight, that part of the kingdom of Wessex which is still today called the nation of the Jutes Actually it is likely that Britain had some previous experience of the Jutes, who hailed from Jutland, in what is now Denmark. There are suggestions of earlier Jutish raids on the Northumbrian coast, which are reminiscent of their Viking relations who were to make a nuisance of themselves some 400-500 years later. It also seems that some Jutes may have been brought to the Isles and employed as mercenaries before the fall of Romano-Britain. Kent was a significant kingdom in southeast Britain from 455 AD until the late 750s, when Offa of Mercia effectively made the Kentish king his vassal. It was founded (per historical accounts) by the german Hengest, who rallied the natives and drove out the British in 455 AD, thus thwarting the aspirations of Vortigern. Kent's population was apparently comprised of Saxons as well as Jutes, Frisians and others, and Hengest's own ancestory is not clear, so it would probably be an error to characterize Kent as a Jutish kingdom. However, there was clearly a Jutish dynasty installed on the Isle of Wight, which repelled at least one Mercian invasion and resisted the tide of Christianity until the late 600s.

Unlike the Roman conquest of Britain, which was completed, for most practical purposes, within 50 years, the Anglo-Saxon conquest took much longer and was confined only to England. Assuming that the traditional date for the arrival of Hengist and Horsa is approximately correct, A.D. 455, it was to be another 150 years before the mainly Celtic Romano-British population was driven into Wales and the extreme south-west. The chief historical source for the initial period is a British monk, Gildas Bandonicus, who lived in the sixth Century, whose narrative formed the basis of that part of a history covering the same period written by a Saxon monk, Bede, completed in A.D. 731. Later there is the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, composed in the time of Alfred the Great (A.D. 871-899).

In the absence of Roman administrators The dominant themes of the next two centuries were the success of Christianity and the political unification of England. Christianity came from two directions, Rome and Ireland. In 596 Pope Gregory I sent a group of missionaries under a monk named Augustine to Kent, where King Ethelbert had married Bertha (d. 612?), a Christian Frankish princess. Soon after, Ethelbert was baptized, Augustine became the first archbishop of Canterbury, and the southern kingdoms became Christian. In Northumbria the Christianity from Rome met Celtic Christianity, which had been brought from Ireland to Scotland by St. Columba and then to Northumbria by St. Aidan (d. 651), who founded the monastery of Lindisfarne in 635. Although not heretical, the Celtic church differed from Rome in the way the monks tonsured their heads, in its reckoning of the date of Easter, and, most important, in its organization, which reflected the clans of Ireland rather than the highly centralized Roman Empire. At the Synod of Whitby in 664, Northumbria's King Oswy (c. 612- 71) chose to go with Rome, giving England a common religion and a vivid example of unification. Theodore of Tarsus (602-90), who became arch-bishop of Canterbury in 668, created dioceses and gave the English church its basic structure.

Extractions: Subsections King from 802-837 A.D. Egbert the Saxon lived at the same time as did Harun-al-Rashid and Charlemagne. He was the first king who ruled all England as one kingdom. Long before his birth the people who are known to us as Britons lived there, and they gave to the island the name Britain. But Britain was invaded by the Romans under Julius Cæsar and his successors, and all that part of it which we now call England was added to the Empire of Rome. The Britons were driven into Wales and Cornwall, the western sections of the island. The Romans kept possession of the island for nearly four hundred years. They did not leave it until 410, the year that Alaric sacked the city of Rome. At this time the Roman legions were withdrawn from Britain. Some years before this the Saxons, Angles and Jutes, German tribes, had settled near the shores of the North Sea. They learned much about Britain; for trading vessels, even at that early day, crossed the Channel. Among other things, the men from the north learned that Britain was crossed with good Roman roads, and dotted with houses of brick and stone; that walled cities had taken the place of tented camps, and that the country for miles round each city was green every spring with waving wheat, or white with orchard blossoms. After the Roman legions had left Britain, the Jutes, led, it is said, by two great captains named Hengist and Horsa, landed upon the southeastern coast and made a settlement.
