[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] [QUOTE][i]"It is at best an intriguing hypothesis but that is likely to remain an unproven one."[/i] [/QUOTE]-- Professor Emeritus Glanville Price "Languages Britain and Ireland." (page 3.) [QUOTE][b]These original Britons were subjugated by the Romans then displaced by an influx of Anglo Saxons from Germany and Holland in the sixth and seventh centuries AD.[/b] Later invasions by the Vikings and the Normans further altered the local population. [b]The Roman occupation of Britain had a profound impact on trade, culture and technology, but saw little in the way of actual immigration.[/b] [i][b] After the Roman withdrawal in around 400AD, Britain entered the Dark Ages – and found itself increasingly vulnerable to attack by outside forces.[/b][/i] [b]Wave after wave of Europeans came to displace the native Britons.[/b] The three main tribes were the Angles from Angeln in northern Germany, the Saxons from Lower Saxony, and the Jutes from the Jutland Peninsular. [b]The study found remarkable genetic similarities between the two populations and concluded that a ‘mass migration event’ must have occurred in the Dark Ages. In other words, a flood of Anglo Saxons came to dominate the English gene pool, stopping short at the Welsh border[/b] The Romans founded London, built roads, baths and aqueducts, overhauled trade and introduced coinage. The Vikings brought with them words from Old Norse that remain in our language today – some of them tellingly aggressive (knife, ransack, die), some rather more elemental (husband, sky, bairn, get, call). The Normans had arguably the greatest impact, establishing one of the oldest monarchical lines in the word, overhauling the political and legal systems, and fusing French and English words together, as well as kick-starting a thousand-year rivalry with the Old Enemy.

Such a distinction is unlikely to have arisen in the seventh century, two centuries after the initial contact. It is much more likely to have originated in the immigration situation of the fifth and early sixth centuries. On the other hand, this ethnic distinction of two intermingling populations and its formalization in law cannot have survived for such a long period without some mechanism that perpetuated the distinction.

These include the appearance of sedentary agricultural communities (the Neolithic transition) (ca. 4000 b.c.), the arrival and spread of Late Bronze-Iron Age and Celtic material culture (ca. 1000–100 b.c.), Roman occupation and influence (a.d. 43–410), the rise of Anglo-Saxon language and culture (ca. a.d. 400–800), Viking invasions and influence (ca. . 800–1000), and the Norman Conquest (a.d. 1066) [/QUOTE]--Michael E.
