No Saxon invasion?

... or our anarcho-syndicalist collective. I never voted for any of these kings - especially Arthur - flowery aquatic tarts distributing swords from lakes is no basis for government! :lol:

... Britons can indeed have changed their culture under germanic influence: they did so under Roman influence, but it's been a long no-no to even suggest that and supposedly backward heathen Saxons could have any influence on British culture other than forced. Britons aping Germans? Never! :wink:

I seem to remember reading somewhere that (whichever scale of incursion/invasion/immigration you support) the Saxons were outnumbered by the Angles anyway. The Saxons were of course Germanic rather than 'German' (something of a loaded word to Brits since 1914, 1939 and 1966!) and the Angles ... early Danish? The Jutes also came from Denmark and the Frisians from what became the Netherlands so perhaps we should be talking about Dano-Dutch. Then with Danelaw later on - these guys returned. The Danes are supposed to be amongst the happiest people in the world - so who would complain about having them in the bloodline?
