When the Jutish kingdom of Kent was founded, around the middle of the 5th century, Roman ways and influences must have still had a strong presence. The Roman settlement of Durovernum Cantiacorum became Canterbury. The people of Kent were described as Cantawara, a Germanised form of the Latin Cantiaci. [34]
The lathe was an ancient division of Kent and originated, probably in the 6th century, during the Jutish colonisation of the county. [3] There exists a widespread belief that lathes originally formed around the royal settlements of the Kingdom of Kent.
Much of Kent, especially the Medway area, saw post-war migration from London. This was partly because of the heavy damage and destruction sustained by London in World War II. In 1998, Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham and Rainham left the administrative county of Kent to form the Unitary Authority of Medway, but remain in the ceremonial county of ...
Roman fort wall at Regulbium. In the Romano-British period, the area of modern Kent that lay east of the River Medway was a civitas known as Cantiaca. [1] Its name had been taken from an older Common Brittonic place-name, Cantium ("corner of land" or "land on the edge") used in the preceding pre-Roman Iron Age, although the extent of this tribal area is unknown.
The term Wihtware translates from Old English as "the people of the Isle of Wight", with the suffix -ware denoting a people group, as in Cantware ("the people of Kent"). [1] [2] [3] In the Old English translation of Bede's work, the term Wihtsætan is used instead, possibly as it was the more common name by which the group was known at the time of writing.
There is an academic theory that the Gothic tribe is connected to British migration through the so-called "Jutish Hypothesis", which would explain why I-L1237 is so strongly associated both with British migration and with Gothic migration patterns. [11] I-Z63 was found in a late 6th Century cemetery in Collegno, Italy, near the city of Torino. [6]
Of the East European Jewish emigrants, 1.9 million (80 percent) headed to the United States, and 140,000 (7 percent) to Britain. The chief mechanism was chain migration in which the first successful member(s) of the chain send information, local currency (and sometimes tickets or money for tickets) to later arrivals. [70]
The Kingdom of Kent in south east England is associated with Jutish origins and migration, also attributed by Bede in the Ecclesiastical History. [3] This is also supported by the archaeological record, with extensive Jutish finds in Kent from the fifth and sixth centuries. [3] Saxons and Frisii migrated to the region in the early part of the ...
