Version of Record

The Jutes are known as one of the Germanic tribes who migrated to Britain and established the English language and several kingdoms in the early Middle Ages. According to Beda,who wrote about the national history of Britain in the first half of the 8th century,the Jutes are to have come from Jutland in today's Denmark. Several continental records,however,have suggested that several centuries before that a Germanic tribe,who seemingly had close relations or kinship to them,dwelled in the province of the Frisians or the Franks. On the other hand,historical works by Romans,such as Caesar and Tacitus,had already made reference to a Germanic tribe who might have been their ancestors. In medieval poetical works like widsith and Beowulf written in Old English,can we find also what the Jutes used to be. Because of the shortage of written records and other archaeological sources it is very difficult to trace their history to their origin and so there are differing views and conjectures about it. The aim of this paper is to survey the historical works and modern research concerning the Jutes and to seek for traces of their migration from their continental homeland to Britain.
