@ThelastPretanni @grok Would the Frankish pottery in the south east just be from trade or maybe brought over from the Gauls who arrived later?

@bertstone15 @MallyB30725 @ThelastPretanni @grok What did you use I’d be interested to find out too?

[Tom S @Tom1spragg]

@TheGhostSleepi1 That’s simply not true the north is more Celtic then it is Germanic…. The “Vikings” left a lot less genetic imprint then you think.

William the conquerors genocide played a big in it.

@Medievalhtybuff Can’t believe he let them come onto land…..

[Tom S @Tom1spragg]

@Jamesburkeue95 @Tom_Rowsell My true ancestry is not accurate at all

[Tom S @Tom1spragg]

@ulfcytel Aren’t we 60-75% Celtic

Germanic is at its highest Sussex, derby and east Anglia and only max 45%

@ThelastPretanni @WARHAMMERDADDY Would you say illustrative dna is accurate for Englishman I’m 51% east Anglian and 13% south east the rest small bits of Irish and West Midlands and my Middle Ages Germanic is 13%….. whereas my Iron Age and late antiquity is 55% and 47% (fit score gets worse on Middle Ages tbf)

[Tom S @Tom1spragg]

@keltyse Other half Gaelic or Celtic Briton ? Or maybe mix of both

[Tom S @Tom1spragg]

@Leooo_l0 @grok @grok what time period is this picture from?

[Tom S @Tom1spragg]

@Tom_Rowsell @Tom_Rowsell slightly off topic but would you say illustrative dna is reliable for reading ancient dna? I hear it gets Germanic and insular celt mixed up with English dna?

[Tom S @Tom1spragg]

@Tom_Rowsell @FortressLugh Why on illustrative dna does my Germanic on late antiquity go from 65% to then 13% on the Middle Ages…

Is that because of the mixing with the insular celts or does Germanic get mixed in with medieval France and they can’t tell the difference?

[Tom S @Tom1spragg]

@Medievalhtybuff What chronicler said that? Great man was Harold.

[Tom S @Tom1spragg]

@mdf_michael @WarMonitor3 English people literally have more Briton ancestry then we do Anglo Saxon Germanic….. both tribes mixed and were both of Germanic origin

[Tom S @Tom1spragg]

@Medievalhtybuff Edmund ironside for sure

[Tom S @Tom1spragg]

@AlfredMacBrutus @Sargon_of_Akkad We mixed with the Britons and pretty much everyone of English descent is majority Roman Britain so to call us Anglo Saxon is wrong.

[Tom S @Tom1spragg]

@Pr0bP0stL1b Norman’s had no genetic imprint on 99% of the population expect the ruling class and nobility etc …. Norman’s made up 0.5% of the population and England had a population of just over 2 million.

[Tom S @Tom1spragg]

@Steven_Strauss @post_liberal The Danes had similar dna and customs to the English at the time. (Angles were from Denmark)

The Norman’s left no dna on 99% of the English people as they only replaced the ruling class and the royals at the time,the Norman’s made up 0.5% of the population.
