JUTES , the third of the See also:

Teutonic nations which invaded See also:Britain in the 5th See also:century, called by See also:Bede Iutae or Iuli (see BRITAIN, ANGLO-SAXON). They settled in See also:Kent and the Isle of See also:Wight together with the adjacent parts of See also:Hampshire. In the latter See also:case the See also:national name is said to have survived until Bede's own See also:time, in the New See also:Forest indeed apparently very much later. In Kent, however, it seems to have soon passed out of use, though there is See also:good See also:reason for believing that the inhabitants of that See also:kingdom were of a different See also:nationality from their neighbours (see KENT, KINGDOM OF). With regard to the origin of the Jutes, Bede only says that Angulus (See also:Angel) See also:lay between the territories of the See also:Saxons and the Iutae—a statement which points to their identity with the futi or Jyder of later times, i.e. the inhabitants of See also:Jutland. Some See also:recent writers have preferred to identify the Jutes with a tribe called Eucii mentioned in a See also:letter from Theodberht to Justinian (Mon. Germ. Hist., Epist. iii., p. 132 seq.) and settled apparently in the neighbourhood of the See also:Franks. But these See also:people may themselves have come from Jutland. See Bede, Hist. See also:Eccles. i.
