    Default Did the Frisians ever come to England?

    Everyone knows the Angles and the Saxons came to Britain after the Romans left, and, long story short, came to colonise much of Lowland Britain, and help to form what is now England and the English culture. One bit of evidence amongst others is the Frisian Y Chromosone being very common in East Anglia and the Eastern Midlands, being less common in the West Midlands, being scarce by the time one crosses the border into Wales, and nearly non existent in the West of Wales.

    Did Germanic Frisian groups actually migrate to England because I am a bit confused about the other tribes to migrated other than the two big ones.

    As far as I know Frisia was in large part repopulated by the same migrations that went to England (Anglo-Saxons), that's why Old English and Old Frisian were mutually intelligible.
