Cox comes from County Mayo in Connacht. Taylor, is actually more Scottish than anything else vaguely half-related to it. Miller, has several alleged origins, but Scottish is the most commonly assumed to be accurate as it typically fits in with their own native dialogue. Foster is yet another example of interbred tribal culture, but is at-least of Celtic origin.
I have done many-a-times wee laddy, and nay to what you're saying. You're clearly someone who takes pride in idea that you're of a certain origin of tribal warriors that came to a land, and simply took command of the masses by force.
Leah, is different from Lee. It derives from the Gaelic word "laoidh", which literally means "a poem." Shaw derives again from Gaelic origin in the form of "Sithec", meaning Wolf. Patel, yes does have Indian half to it somewhere distantly. But is actually from just slightly Pre-Dark Age Scotland.
All they could do after the Battle of Mount Badon was settle for for a mere half of Lloegria, and further Cymryu. By which time many Britons had just adapted to the new lifestyle, by adopting it. Later advantage to whatever they had planned for future expansion could only be determined by the next generation of warriors from their own Anglicised Kingdoms. Which would've been most likely genuine Saxons, and the lesser yet effective bonus extent of Anglo-Britons.
Actually, the Saxons were awful fighters. Or at least they are not well known for being great fighters (because historians don't know a whole lot about them in the first place). When they "invaded" England, they didn't really fight a whole lot. Somebody once compaired it to this situation: One day all over sudden, people start camping in your back yard. And over the years they begin living in your house and start drinking your milk and eating your biscuits. (from Bill Bryson's "At Home")
and anglians and saxons are 2 different tribes. angeln is the northern part of todays schleswig holstein south of the river eider was the territory of the saxons.
saxons till the river "eider" in schleswig holstein. anglians north from the river eider. modern state of saxony is only a title, has nothing to do with the historic saxons.
Not quite. That was in Edinborough in the 1400s I believe (possibly a little bit earlier). Everyone sat down to the banquet, had some food and then a black boar's head was brought out which was the symbol for death and people got stabbed
I mean't the first sovereign ruler over the entire nation that was over the entire Dark Age period divided between Celts, Angles, Saxons, Picts, Mercians, Jutes, and later on Vikings.
Clearly we're on about different things, I'm on about the Gaelic language that comes from the Goidelic branch of the Celtic languages, Scottish Gaelic, like Modern Irish and Manx, developed out of Middle Irish, and thus descends ultimately from Old Irish.
Edwards, in comparison with traditional Cymraeg dialect is more that than "Old English." If ever it were in form of Germanic, it would be Anglicised, nothing else.
but maybe you mean lower-saxony (niedersachsen) northwest of germany south west of hamburg ? that is something completly different than the state of saxony. there are 3 different states in germany with saxony in their title: lower-saxony (niedersachen), saxony-anhalt (sachsen-anhalt) and saxony.
You're the third person to say that. Celts never turn away from a fight, and they didn't give in to the Saxons that easily. It started off with giving them Cantion (Would-Be-Kent) and other places, but the only reason they successfully managed was because they betrayed their cause halfway. Thus they took their employers by surprise, and managed subdue them in order to make way for fellow Saxons to come forward. They did what the Normans would later on copy, and become ruling class to us.
Get a book of references why don't you mate, it's not a reference to Nazism. It's just the name given to Saxon Propagandists. The "English" are Anglo-Saxon. But the vast majority of the people of England are descended of Brythonic Loegrian Celts. Most surnames aren't "Anglo-Saxon", but rather Anglicised versions of Welsh, Scottish and Irish surnames.
Given your name, I'd say that you're either full on German or at-least of Germanic origin. I've nothing against them, I'm just not going to put up with being called something of which evidence clearly indicates I'm the polar opposite.
Different name variations have interbred in various cultures to avoid such things as suspicion of paranoia, prejudice, and many an accumulation of things that arise with immigration. The method in which most of this happens is they adopt a similar name to what they see in the masses population around themselves that have some loose connection by mere chance. My name is of Irish origin, and literally means in Gaelic "Descendant of The Red One."
The English do have their own heritage, it resides in the German district of Angeln. What was created in Angeln (heritage wise) stays in Angeln. The same goes for Brythonic Celts in Lloegria, Cymryu, & Kernow, as well as Pictish & Gaelic in Alba and Eire. We who are unfortunate enough (no insult intended) to be labeled allegedly as "the English" will more than take offense to that. Because you're basically trying to say the same thing to us, that you claimed I said.
Correction-the Saxons were originally from Northern and Northwest Germany, not Eastern Germany. Many Saxons left Schleswig-Holstein, Hannover, etc. during the push eastward/Teutonic Knight era, thus creating the Upper Saxony of modern times. There was still a Lower Saxony though, the original homeland of the Saxons.
Aaron Bannink Yeah right, and from every other European country too.....and the Friesans are from the states. Sorry I go by books with water proof facts and not wishful thinking. Next everyone has Saxon ancestors....
Saxons were only a small ruling elite minority in Britannia just like the Vikings and later the Normans (Danish Vikings from Normandy). Huge majority of the British people are mostly descendants of the acient Celtic tribes in Britannia (Modern genetic research doesn´t lie). Perhaps some historical old British aristocracy families are partly decendants of the Germanic Vikings/Normans/Saxons etc, but real common people Britannia is Celtic what comes the real roots and real genetic heritage.
"What are you offering?"
"We'll go with nothing."
"Hm, that's a toughie."
How about if I offer you my errrr daughter rowina
Best bits:
"Oh, there's no food. (Realises) There's no food! Run!"
And
"See you next week. Hopefully."
Yess
“We’re really good at fighting.”
"You're not as good as me."
„Well I am, anyway.“
Horsa:
"What do you mean? I'm the best at fighting!"
*Shoves Hengist*
Trade offer:
You get: my daughter
I receive: Kent
The way that guy says, "Really good at fighting." I find to be so hilarious. XD
When I saw this for the first time as a kid I thought they wanted the hole of Kent rather than the whole of Kent.
"Really Good at Fiidding"..... xD
Which part of "Really good at fighting" wasn't clear?
This is the greatest show of all time.
"We will give you nothing."
I love Ben as a blonde!
Studying the Anglo-Saxon invasion for my major assessment at the moment. This video is just perfect! =) haha
Do you question how inaccurate the Anglo Saxon chronicles are ?
He's really good at fighting.
Yess he is

Every time I see these I think of the tv show Spy. It was so good.
after now being acquainted with arthurian legend (and translation of the welsh medieval texts), this skit has become even more memorable for me lol
I love Mat's hoodie coat and hair
I freaking love this show.

the aura between the two kind of clothes ... makes it hard to be combined
Wait... so Vortigern and his guards outnumbered Hengest 5-1... and they simply run away from him when he draws his sword?
He's really good at fighting.
@roguishpaladin well I am anyway
Your videos are so good and funny

Nope, I've looked at many sources that claim both that & the other. The other has a greater proportion of reasoning behind it.
SO Cool!
the big saxon guy looks like a rudolf schenker from scorpions, well it makes sence...
and anglians and saxons are 2 different tribes. angeln is the northern part of todays schleswig holstein south of the river eider was the territory of the saxons.
The part of it that is independent is quite new, this is a history show
they mention thanet and im like OMG i live there!!!
The fact it's no longer an island has taken all the fun out of it
oh man this show is so clever
saxons till the river "eider" in schleswig holstein. anglians north from the river eider. modern state of saxony is only a title, has nothing to do with the historic saxons.
I can't get over how cute Mat is.
Edwards originates from Cymryu, and Ford is an Anglicised version of Foran, which is Irish. Smith is Scottish, & is actually of Pictish origin.
To be fair, most of the "Anglo Saxons" are more common with the native Britons who probably absorbed into their culture.
Along with some Vikings.
Love that queen's english.
"Queen's English"
NDNgirl4ever
Around modern Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony) and Schleswig-Holstein don't confuse it with Sachsen (Saxony).
Thanks, you have your heritage, let Lloegria have hers.
its because he's really good ad fighding
So this is how GRRM came up with the Red Wedding :O
Not quite. That was in Edinborough in the 1400s I believe (possibly a little bit earlier). Everyone sat down to the banquet, had some food and then a black boar's head was brought out which was the symbol for death and people got stabbed
Cassie Osbourne (2nd?) Jacobite Uprising - Campbell’s killed the MacDonald’s at a banquet
Oh wait never mind. I think they did it in this sketch to show the difference between the Britons and the Saxons?
Now that comment should not have been made, as it shows sarcasm being in an incredibly stupid context.
guys turn on cc, then click on "transcribe audio" and lokk at 0:27!
And so the English/Saxons took the first land that didn’t belong to them.😒😡
There's no food!
i don't know why , but the woman was a piece of diplomacy...!!
It was all clear, doesn't mean he and his guards should just run away with out trying to defend themselves.
AND YOUR REALLY GOOD AT FIGHTING! LUL!
jumping jutes just doesnt sound right now does it?
Cool
@insanelylogical Sounds suspiciously Welsh.
I mean't the first sovereign ruler over the entire nation that was over the entire Dark Age period divided between Celts, Angles, Saxons, Picts, Mercians, Jutes, and later on Vikings.
@MerlinLover996 Yeah, but what's with the duffle coat? He's not Jonathan Creek x

Ireland was British at one point but no, it isn't anymore, it's an independant nation and a dman proud one at that!!!!
I thought Kent was a colony of the Jutes.
What people are you referring to?
Glad you and I agree on this at-least.
Edwards, in comparison with traditional Cymraeg dialect is more that than "Old English." If ever it were in form of Germanic, it would be Anglicised, nothing else.
Most fans of history.
You're probably looking at the wrong one, try again.
Oh there's no food 💀 3:05
as I said "don't confuse it with Sachsen (Saxony)".

lower-saxony (niedersachen), saxony-anhalt (sachsen-anhalt) and saxony.
Is that a german dutch or danish accent
If ever French, it wouldn't be what we know as "French" but Gaulish.
yeah it was hengist and horsa were jutes.
@MerlinLover996 Agree
Is this about the Saxons or like the OG Frisians
***** Nah the original Frisians were more badass. Even though theres not much information on them.
Were the Anglo-Saxons German?
Lower Scandinavia.
I love Mat in a suit. Now to get him in a fedora!

im reaaally good at fiding
Then how come it's called smashing saxons?
Hengest -> stallion
Horsa -> horse
Saxony, Germany
My throat hurts😢 2:14

Part of it is
@emmaissocoollike69 I kinda figured that from your first comment :P
Are those larp swords? 😂😂😂
Well they’re not real ones that’s for sure.
The Saxons have always had the same accents, don't you mean the Vikings?
Saxons were not Vikings, diff part of europe

Aaron Bannink Are you mixing the Saxons with the Friesens up?
No Friesens are from Friesland. The Saxons are from eastern Netherlands.
Tiberiotertio Sorry SOME Saxons are from the eastern Netherlands.
Aaron Bannink Yeah right, and from every other European country too.....and the Friesans are from the states. Sorry I go by books with water proof facts and not wishful thinking. Next everyone has Saxon ancestors....
