"The Jutes were a Germanic tribe who invaded Britain in the 5th century AD. According to Bede the Jutes occupied Hampshire, Kent and the Isle of Wight. Large numbers of Jutes lived in the New Forest in Hampshire and until the 11th century it was known as Ytene (of the Jutes)."
"When the Roman legions left Britain, the native Britons were left to defend themselves.At this time, the Britons were less warlike than they had been prior to the Roman occupation.The Britons were exposed to the threat of attack from the Picts of caledonia to the north. The Roman patrolling of Hadrian's Wall had ceased. The southern and eastern coasts were also exposed since no Roman fleet patrolled the Channel and the North Sea. The Picts and Scots of Caledonia attacked the northern border. The Britons requested help from the Jutes, a Germanic tribe, to push the Picts and the Scots back.In return for their help, the Jutes were given the Isle of Thanet off the north-east coast of Kent."
