===The Jutes===

Records are sparse for the next 300 years, but later chroniclers speak of an influx of [[Jutes]]<ref>Leonard Neidorf, "The Dating of ''Widsith'' and the Study of Germanic Antiquity," ''Neophilologus'' (January 2013)</ref> – an amalgam of [[Cimbri]], [[Teutons]], [[Gutones]] and [[Charudes]] called ''Eudoses'',<ref>Tacitus, ''Germania'', [[wikisource:Germania#XLV|Germania.XLV]]</ref> ''Eotenas'',<ref>Stuhmiller, Jacqueline (1999).

{{Blockquote|Those who came over were of the three most powerful nations of Germany—Saxons, Angles, and Jutes.

They initially settled Hampshire under [[Visigoths|Visigothic]] authority sometime after 476 AD,<ref>Frassetto, Michael (2003). Encyclopedia of Barbarian Europe: Society in Transformation. Santa Barbara, CA: ABC-CLIO. {{ISBN|978-1-57607-263-9}}.</ref> forming several distinct [[Bookland (law)|folklands]] organized around a central geographical feature. Various place-names identify locations as Jutish, including [[Bishopstoke]] (''Ytingstoc''), the [[River Itchen, Hampshire|River Itchen]] (''Ytene'') and the [[River Meon|Meon Valley]] (''Ytedene'').<ref>{{cite book |last=Yorke |first=Barbara |title = Wessex in the Early Middle Ages |location=London |publisher=Routledge |year=1995 |author-link=Barbara Yorke |isbn=0-415-16639-X |pages=37–39}}</ref> There in fact appear to be at least two Jutish folklands in Hampshire: one established along the [[River Itchen, Hampshire|River Itchen]] and one along the [[River Meon]]. Evidence of an early Germanic settlement has been found at [[Clausentum]], dated to the fifth century and likely the Visigothic center of power in the area, either independently or in conjunction with powerful Romano-British trading ports.<ref>Jillian Hawkins, "Words and Swords: People and Power along the Solent in the 5th Century" (2020)</ref> Nevertheless, [[Visigoths|Visigothic]] authority waned after 517 A.D and the settlements were gradually encroached upon by [[Sussex|South Saxons]].
