CHAPTER

Fortification, Fodorati, and the Jutes

This chapter explores the fortification efforts of the Romans, the use of barbarian mercenaries called Fodorati, and the origin myth of Kent through the story of Hengest and Horsa. It also discusses the linguistic and cultural influence of the Jutes on the Kentish dialect of Old English and the recent archaeological discovery in Denmark that suggests a close relation between Proto-Nors and Proto-English.
