The prevalence of shared genetics, historical origins, culture, beliefs, values, etc, amongst the people of England & Germany always highlights, in my thinking, the terrible tragedy and intense irony of the slaughter inflicted upon one another by these two nations in the 21st century. When consciousness of human history is forgotten, blurred or denied, we do ourselves injury through the loss of ties that would otherwise bind us to one another, internationally-speaking.

@Son of Wessex i watched a documentary about the Battle of Monte Cassino a few months ago, and there was an old German veteran talking about when his squad captured a few British soldiers. He's chattering along in German about the reactions of these POWs being taken to the battalion HQ of the German paratroopers and suddenly imitates one of the prisoners exclaiming, "For Heaven's sake, you all have English faces!” Then he laughs and switches back to German and says, "Well, what did they expect us to look like?!" In my opinion, this anecdote really demonstrates the power of propaganda...These young soldiers had grown up in GB at a time when influential powers in British society manufactured & negatively-emphasized many stereotypes and false attributes, as well as a general sense of undesirable, foreign "otherness" in connection to Germany & German people. One of the best examples, of course, was the label "Huns" that was applied to Germans. The infamous Huns of the ancient world, as a result of their invasion of Europe that led to the fall of the Western Roman Empire, left perhaps the most traumatic psychological scar ever passed on in the writings & stories of ancient Europeans. Thus, the Huns historically embodied the idea of undesirable, foreign "otherness" in the collective European consciousness...making the label of "Hun" a powerful epithet, in deed. And although it is so obvious to us today as to not need to be stated, ethnic German people do not resemble the Hunnic peoples, who originated in Mongolia as nomads. Nonetheless, the visible similarities & commonalities shared by the Germans and the Englishmen at Cassino clearly came as a shock to the captured Tommies.... It's almost certain that negative labels such as that of "Huns" not only affected, but in large part, formed the false perceptions and expectations that these young soldiers held of their German cousins. The moral of the story, obviously, is the importance of knowing who the influencers in your world scope are, recognizing their motives and informing yourself on relative issues, rather than adopting the popular perspective. We are fortunate enough in this day and age to have the ability to access almost any information, anytime we like

Thus, the Celts and the Anglo-Saxons were neighbours, occupying different types of land. The clay soi;s were more productive, which gave the Anglo-Saxons an economic advantage.

That is a rather antiquated view. The Belgae, and they were in Southern Britain - Attrebates, Regni etc. - as well as in Gaul, had heavy ploughs, with iron shares capable of turning the sod, well before the Romans arrived in Gaul, never mind Britain. What did happen after the end of Roman rule in Britain, was that marginal land, such as drained wetland, was no longer profitable to cultivate and was abandoned. This was because the export market represented by the Roman army on the Rhine frontier had evaporated.

My mother's maiden name was (dit) Barry from Baril, a Gallo-Roman word for barrier from France. Two companies say I have 14% or 17% Italian/Greek Autosomal DNA. Unfortunately there was little social pressure among Metis culture in Acadia to marry seamen from a particular background. If the British were as welcoming as some people believe, the DNA would show it. I'd like to see how the autosomal results from Brittany compares with Wales.

Our Paternal Grandmother’s Father’s people come from this area of Midlands England and have Norman DNA as well as Welsh & English: The Norman is from Denmark to Normandy and York settlements. “York” comes from the name “Jorvik”. This information came from our DNA tests. Also our Scottish DNA on our Dad’s father’s line comes partly from Norway as well as “PICT” which is Celtic and the term Picture is a name given to Scots because they painted pictures on their skin, especially for battle, with bright blue coloring. Evidence in last name makeup will be “son” on the end of the father’s first name. That is a Norse style name. They will, in Norway also put Dotter or fatter on the end of the father’s first name for their girl children to this day. They also used to alternate with the mother’s last name to keep both names in a family line. So a son of Henry becomes Hendry, Henderson, Hendrison, and such, to keep it interesting. So if you show that son or Sen on the end look for a Norse line in your family.

I speak Mid-Minch Scottish Gaelic a little, so take this with a pinch of salt. Conventionally, "-gh-" next to "broad vowels" (a/à, o/ò, u/ù) represents something like [ɣ] or a voiced velar fricative. Say "Aur *R* -evoir" with a decent French accent and you have an idea of this sound. However, "ogham" seems to be an exception with this gh dropped in spoken speech, our Gaelic likes to "flow" and I do find /o:am/ or /owam/ easier than /oɣam/ to say; albeit I could be guilty of anglicising my speech a lot. I'm not sure what Irish does for this word, but I would venture what's going on is the dropping of the [ɣ] from an Old Gaelic or Middle Gaelic original which had it as the aforementioned /oɣam/ pronunciation.

Also in the laws are references to Welshmen who prosper and own considerable lands and the king's Welsh horsemen.

You don't get 'one of your mother's X's'. The process of forming a gamete (sperm or egg) involves a Reduction Division to ensure that each gamete contains half the correct number of chromosomes for that species - in other words it is a half-cell, ready to fuse with another half-cell of the other type, thus restoring the correct number of chromosomes in the zygote which is then ready to develop into an embryo (via normal non-reduction cell division). During the reduction division to form an egg or sperm, paired (homologous) chromosomes within the cell align together and replicate, so there are four copies of each numbered chromosome lying together in the cell. The next stage is that these chromatids cross over each other, so that the genes of each chromosome are shuffled. The chromatids then pull apart to make four new chromosomes with a *new combination of genes* compared to, for example, the original X chromosomes. So, you don't know what you may have inherited in the recombinations of genes caused in the formation of eggs and sperm.

All British people are most closely related to other Brits than to anyone outside of Britain. So English are closer to Scots than to Dutch for instance. Those of eastern /south eastern English ancestry are likely to have more Germanic admixture than their more western and northern counterparts. This reflects where the Germanic tribes had the most impact culturally as well as genetically . There seems to have been a certain amount of replacement of local population in some eastern areas but it didn't last in a genetic sense because 1) eventually mixing occurred , and 2) Modern Brits are still very similar to Roman Britons and Iron Age Britons , partly because the Germanic tribes weren't that different from them genetically in the first place.

4:10 "...some degree of British or Welsh..." The lecturer falls into the trap of calling the Celts of the period "Welsh". In fact this was before the Celts became divided and evolved into the modern "Welsh " and "Cornish". Instead of erasing Cornish history, the lecturer should be saying "Celts" or "Ancient Britons". He gives the example of "penn" and assumes this is just Welsh. In fact, the Cornish language still has the same word. Also, at 18:15, Amorica became Brittany because it was settled by people from Britain. These Britons were actually Cornish which explains the similarities between the archeology and languages of Brittany and Cornwall. Again, Cornish history being erased. At 21:25, even with Cornwall on the whiteboard, he still manages to erase it from his speech. At 21:33, we see Cornwall referred to as England which it was not at the time (some would argue, still isn't). As Dumnonia shrunk to the west, the border between Cornwall and England was eventually fixed at the river Tamar in 936AD and never revoked. Apart from the inevitable Kernophobia, a very enjoyable lecture.

Some more subtle way caused the spead of the Anglo-Saxon DNA, because the archaeology doesn't show really evidence of fighting, villages found from that period don't show burned Wood from the houses, there are not many violently died corpses, as fights would produce - like we find from the Viking age, and the War of the Roses time etc.

Well there is some argument about whether or not the archaeological record shows evidence of destruction (carbon layers) but proving how a building burnt down, whether by deliberate destruction or accident, is impossible. Mass slaughter would not necessarily be evident as unburied bones would not survive and burial pits are not common even for later wars eg the ECW. Gildas, Nennius, Bede and the A-S Chronicle all record a period of incessant warfare with the Welsh/Britons being relentlessly pushed back. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. The DNA evidence is the most exciting development in archaeology for some time.

@@matthewhumphreys6100 I was citing the archaeologs from a document when they were on their site. They said that Est England specifically didn't have any layers of these burned doen structures from that time period, earlier and later periods did. And that was all along the sites they had studied in the east coast, and nowadays they can use the Computer images even to figure out the places of the anceint villages. Some they haven't even dug open, because they show clear signs of no destruction from the preiod. They might open them later. Bede has been found to say politocally partial things, and after the time when some of the incidents took place: so partially it's heresay, and politically favouring some populations, which has always been common in writing history. Yet I'm not of course saying all he wrote is incorrect. But mere tongues without evidence… tricky. And I know about the DNA findings: doesn't show much 'layers' left from the Anglo-Saxon era, maybe 5-10% depending the part of the country. But interestingly, neither has the Celtic era left more traces. Most British and Irish Still have majority of their DNA from the old Western European stock, which make sthe Basques their closest blood reltives, and of course the French have that heritage too. But it's Pre-Celtic, older European ancestry. So languages can change even quickly with just a small ruling class. If you want an office in the country, you better know the majority language. Welsh and Scottish still suffer from this, or Irish. So now I see the situation like this: when the Romans left, that left a military vacuum: there was no Celtic army system: some had been accepted to the Roman armies, but not enough. And they left surprisingly little genetic marks - which could be told apart from the Normans. The Romans really left Britannia, the civil population with the legions. The officials didn't want to stay stamping their stamps once the muscle was gone. So the people in those times were not more stupid than we: I think the anglo-Saxons had scouted this, they had been conducting business in Engladn, and other Germanic tribes in the Roman territory. Especially those Germanic troops serving in the Roman military certainly involved those who passed their knowledge to their kinsmen in the East. The Anglo-Saxons, like the legendary Horst and Hengist, had noted the Roman legions leaving Britannia, they don't move without noticing. So they came over the sea before any time to form a functioning military was possible. Certainly there were Romano-Celtic warriors who could hold a sword - but they just didn't have the numbers. So it was kind of coup. Once the Anglo-Saxons had established their foothold in the East Coast, they slowly moved westwards. Some recent findings in Eastern England not found in the West show the remnants of the houses from that period build in the continental Germanic style. And genetics show those effects, but not a wipe out of the previous inhabitants. The newcomers mixed with the locals, with some of them at least. And most importantly: their langauge became the ruling one in the East. This is important, because then there is the difference in culture and mentality of the neighbouring nations, and easily wars ensue. So the reports from the Western England are much more evident, and well documented. But that happened after the East Coast of the Anglo-Saxons had been born. That, the evidence hints, didn't happen with much violence. When the Vikings (Danes) came to stay in North England, there was more killing, more ethnic cleansing. But once again: not a total annihilation. The peaceful coexistance started, mostly in the Northern England, the Danelaw area - why the Geordies likely have such a peculiar accent in the southerners ears (adding to that the mix of industrial boom). That is, before William the Conqueror brought the Norman element to the soup.

But the documentary and research shown in a BBC series some years ago showed that of all the findings, they couldn't separate Danes and Jutes from Angles and Saxons so grouped that all as Anglo-Saxon. Celtic signatures were not strong or distinct anyway except Ireland, even in Dublin where Norwegian Vikings ruled for a while. Most surprising of all (and shocking to some Scots) was that they found no strong or dominant Celtic signature in Scotland. Scotland was almost all the same as England, i.e. Anglo-Saxon.

What I think is that at the end of the Roman period, most British men were not trained in fighting from an early age because the Romans had a professional army with professional soldiers. Fighting simply wasn't part of British culture at the time. The Anglo-Saxons, on the other hand, were trained to fight from an early age. They were a warrior culture. So when the Roman legions left the Britons were sitting ducks when the Anglo-Saxons came over. The Anglo-Saxons came over and enslaved the Britons. Only the Britons in the West learned how to fight.

Everyone was a slave, and had been a slave for hundreds of years in Eastern -Middle England, before the Romans pulled out. The Anglo-Saxon invasion was right on the heels of the Romans pulling out. The Romans that pulled out didn't make it as far as the Pyrenees before they were annihilated by other Germanic tribes. There was little Anglo-Saxon movement into Wales and Cornwall because the population was armed and not slaves of the Romans; they fought back. The Ogham stones demarcated the territory of the Scoti from the north of Ireland. The Scoti, (Scots) controlled the Irish Sea and traded as far east as Rome in the Med. They had 600 large ships when Rome left. Brittany was invaded and settled by the Scots as the Romans retreated. Brittany then lasted as an independent entity for hundreds of years, keeping the Anglo-Saxons and the Franks at bay.

That structure, later called Medieval, didn't really change until the Black Death: an agricultural worker's life in England (at least the Roman parts) was little different in 300 AD than it was in 1200 AD, in terms of rights and freedoms.

Freaken neat. They just found Cornish tin from the Bronze Age that had been shipped to the Eastern Mediteranean (to coastal modern day Israel), which was settled by the Phoenicians near the end of the Bronze age, assuming they were originally the "Sea People" who destroyed the great Bronze-Age powers (Macedonia/Crete, Hittites, Babylonians, and almost the Egyptians) and were given the Area around Tyre by the Egyptians as a bribe during that great collapse. If I'm guessing right, that Phoenician/British Isles connection might go way back to the late Bronze Age: were the "Sea People," who we're pretty sure became the Phoenicians, and who came from the Western Mediteranian (Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily), trading with the new Indo-European rulers of the British Isles that far back for tin and amber, both highly prized by the Bronze-Age superpowers in the Eastern Mediteranean? Hopefully someone is looking into this, they just discovered that Cornish tin in an ancient ship found just off Israel that is dated back to late Bronze Age, and who besides the Sea People, soon to be called Phoenicians, could have had ships going that far afield, Cornwall to Israel, in the Bronze Age?

@@khadrtrudeau1662 Feudalism began during the Roman Empire with the Roman elite leaving the cities to avoid paying their taxes to live at their villas in the countryside, and importing craftsmen to manufacture goods on site that they previously purchased from craftsmen and merchants in the towns. So they shrank the Imperial revenues, impoverished the towns, and cut trade. With the end of conquests, the slave population steadily shrank (perhaps helped by the spread of Christianity, with Christians buying Christian slaves to free them). Impoverished citizens, once citizenship was extended to all residents to try to increase tax revenue, fell into debt, and became serfs to exchange their cash debts to the rich and the state for obligations to perform labour and deliver produce to the aristocrats in the villas. That's the origin of the feudal demesnes. The invaders cut taxes, redistributed land among themselves so they would not be as poor as the Roman peasants, and created a new trade system across the North Sea, and had tribal democracy, but the chiefs became aristocrats by taking over the villas and gradually concentrated wealth into fewer hands even before the Norman conquest.

The reason these modern genetic studies show these results is two fold: the English do not like to think their ancestors were barbarians, and modern academics are looking for a way to make their names and ideas live on through new academic papers (and make money from it; plus, push this multicultural society). Old genetic studies showed Saxon bloodlines all throughout England and the Lowlands of Scotland.

Apartheid means total separation of "races" and imposing to the other a lower social status similar to slavery, that was not the case in the timeframe the lecture is talking about. The Apartheid germinated overseas, in colonial English America, but also with the Dutch settlers in the Cape Colony. The idea that peoples in Europe that adopted Christianity, and like the Anglo-Saxon that were about to turn to Christianity would create societies based on racial concepts is wrong, as slavery was abolished by Christians. It took the Reformation, Liberalism with the contributions of Locke, and the dark side of the Enlightenment (much of it trying to copy paste Rome or Ancient Greece) to put in place apartheid societies - but only in the colonies.

Anglo-Saxon England was full of slavery, whether the slaves represented the surviving Britons, English that had fallen on hard times or a combination is unknown but slavery was common. A generation after the Norman conquest 10% of the population of England were still registered as slaves. Slavery in the British Isles is thought to have stopped sometime in the 12th century.

Not only: there's also the cross of Christianity: why the cross theme is there, not the sun circulation the swastika depicts. People start to put new ideas on top of the old, masonry used the old knowhow to start to depict new themes, new values. The Christian texts formed the permanent foundation by which the understanding of the meaning of the cross deepened by generation, and still does. Yet the core meaning is simple enough a child can get it, it's not reserved only for religious or any other elite: it's about getting forgiveness for our evil.

Don't these guys do their research? Apartheit suggests two groups of people living together yet kept apart from breeding where possible. There is also heirachical standing due to economic areas, places where the land and therefore people are richer. If my ancestors are both of Irish descent from Kernow/ Cornwall and Isle of Skye in the Hebrides does that make for stronger bonds, why I always wish to live in the West of Britain? Are my genes able to be homesick?

"Welsh" is a cognate with an array of other ethnonyms and toponyms: Wallis and Valais (in Switzeland), Walloon/Wallonie (in Belgium), "Welsch" (what the Germans used to call the French and Italians), Wallacha (in Romania), Vlachoi (in Greee), Valois and Vau (in France), Cornwall (in Britain), and possibly many others. The root of the word does not strictly mean "foreigner", but "he who speaks Latin".

The word “Wales” might have been the sundry Germanic term for “foreigner” but only because the Germans chose it to be. Otherwise it is equivalent to “Gaul,” “Gael,” or “Celt” as we know ‘w’ equates with ‘g’ (cf war and guerre, warden and guard, Wotan and God, wile and guile, William and Guido, &c.) and ‘g’ with ‘c’ (gato and cat, gladius and clatter, grave and carve, &c.)

Yes 'Wales' comes from 'Walhaz', as does 'Gaul' ( < Walhola(nt), 'land of the Walhaz'). But Gael and Celt are from other origins. Also Wotan/God, William/Guido are each of different origins too. In fact both Wotan and God are directly of Germanic origin, not via a Romance versioning of Germanic.

The 'Germans' were not an homogenous group with the same language, not then and not today. The Germanic languages were already diverged to many by the period in question. Your analysis seems to be confusing Germanic with a single German, and 'Celtic' with Latin based languages.

The circle is a halo and represents divinity. The halo in ancient times could be represented as a circle or as rays, both representing the sun. The halo in ray form was used as a crown and is where the classic zigzag crown comes from, it's also why the Statue of Liberty has a crown of spikes - it's actually a halo. The halo surrounding the cross is an obvious association.
