Jutes

The Jutes were a group of Germanic tribes that migrated from what is now Denmark and northern Germany to Britain around the 5th century. They played a significant role in the early Anglo-Saxon settlement, primarily settling in parts of southern England. Their influence helped shape the cultural, linguistic, and social landscape of early medieval Britain. The Jutes, along with the Angles and Saxons, contributed to the foundation of what would become England. While their distinct identity gradually merged into the broader Anglo-Saxon culture, their legacy remains a key part of British history.
