Jutes: From Pirate's Plunder to Market's Treasure The Jutes, a Germanic tribe, played a pivotal role in the early history of England. In the 5th century, they joined the Angles and Saxons in invading Britain, led by the brothers Hengist and Horsa. The landing at Ebbsfleet, Isle of Thanet, marked the beginning of their settlement in Kent. The sepia-toned illustration from 'The Church of England: A History for the People' depicts the burial of King Ethelbert of Kent, a Jute ruler, around 600 AD. His peaceful reign saw the spread of Christianity in Kent. Meanwhile, in present-day Bangladesh, the bustling market town of Manikganj remains a hub for jute trade. Jutes, once used as materials for pirate sails during the Saxon invasion, are now a significant agricultural and industrial commodity. The Treaty of Hengist and Horsa with Vortigern, another British ruler, further solidified the Jutes' presence in England. This historical event is depicted in an intricately detailed lithograph. The invasion by the Jutes, Angles, and Saxons in 449 AD, as depicted in another lithograph, marked the end of the Roman rule in Britain. The arrival of these Germanic tribes led to the formation of numerous kingdoms, shaping the cultural and linguistic landscape of England as we know it today. From the pirate's plunder to the market's treasure, the journey of a testament to the dynamic history of England and its people.
