I didn't know Cerdic was Belgae. I am learning more about the origin of specific Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.

Hey, I recently heard from a source that because of a famine in Germanic areas, the angles and jutes came to settle which led to the Britons asking for the Saxons to come (horsa and hengist). Is this true?

It's commonly speculated that the reason the Germanics were so eager to move to Britain was because their own land, modern Denmark, had become unfarmable. But the reason Hengist and Horsa went over to Britain was because king Vortigern of Britain asked them, and he asked them because Picts and Scots from modern Scotland were attacking the Britons down below i.e. the people who were citizens of Britannia which had by then collapsed.

Question. Were the West Saxons more Saxon than Belgic or more Belgic than Saxon?

@TheSwanShowMain 24 күн бұрын

Belgae were a celt-germanic mix from continental Europe who moved over to Britain. The Germanic part wasn't Saxon, as Saxon is a specific sub-group of Germanic.

Another question. During the Roman occupation did Belgae marry with Romans or did they protect their blood?

We can assume some did as Romans would retire to farm life and often marry Celts.

Belgic tribes as I should call them gave Julius Caesar a run for his money. If it were not for his Scorpions he would not have been able to conquer Belgium.

Historical revision detected.How do you convince yourself that the West Saxons are of Belgae origin? The only source for this hypothesis is the possible Celtic origin of the name Cerdic.Then these scholars making up the peaceful assimilation and integration between saxons and celts,which is clearly a political trending of creating a cultural identity as we known British,with common heritage and ancestors.However the happened reality was not that peaceful and family-friendly,the population replacement was very common and it still is in Levant.
