" Mr. Craik has pointed out that "the modern kingdom of
Denmark comprehends all the districts from which issued, according to
the old accounts, the several tribes who invaded Britain upon the fall
of the Roman Empire. And the Danes proper (who may be considered to
represent the Jutes); the Angles, who live between the Bight of
Flensborg and the river Schley on the Baltic; the Frisons, who inhabit
the islands along the west coast of Jutland, with a part of the
bailiwick of Husum in Schleswig; and the Germans of Holstein (Bede's Old
Saxons) are still all recognized by geographers and ethnographers as
distinct races."
ATTILA INVADES WESTERN ROME
BATTLE OF CHALONS
A.D. 451
CREASY GIBBON
After Attila had conquered and laid waste the provinces of the
Eastern Empire south of the Danube and exacted heavy tribute from
Theodosius II, he turned his attention to the subjugation of the
Slavic and Germanic tribes who still remained independent. These,
with one exception, he overcame and placed under the sovereignty of
his son.
