  Damn I wonder if that peasant woman who scolded king Alfred would have ever imagined the story of her burnt cakes would still be spoken of 1,300 years later

  This is cool. this is a time where you don&apos;t see a lot of English History on youtube. usually it goes from the Romans left to either 1066 or Rork&apos;s Drift.

  I think it&apos;s worth mentioning recent DNA evidence surrounding the Anglo-Saxon settlement - this showed that actually a large majority of the DNA of people in Britain today (as much as 60-90% in the South-East) comes from the native Romano-Britons, suggesting that the settlement was less violent and involved less displacement than previously thought, even if culturally little of the Romano-Britons survived in England

  Interesting cycle of raiders becoming settlers becoming farmers, and getting raided. Rinse &amp; repeat.

  There is something magical about these isles that they have been so desired through the centuries.

  Saxons had already began settling on the east coast of Britain during the Roman period; they were Foederati (mercenaries) hired by the Romans. Britannia was actually the most expensive Roman province to maintain and defend, requiring the largest legion to population ratio -- larger than anywhere else in the Empire.

  Although Celtic peoples lost much of their demography to Germanic &amp; Latin speakers they have greatly contributed to the ethnogenesis of these groups&apos; offshoots. Halloween also stems from a Celtic cult.
