The fiercesome Jutes were one of the Anglo-Saxon tribes who settled in England and were one of the three most powerful Germanic nations. They originated in what is now the Jutland peninsula. They migrated in part to southern Britain in the late fourth century during the Migration period after the fall of Rome. As part of a larger wave of Germanic invasions, the Jutes settled mostly in Kent and the Isle of Wight. However they are also believed to have spread to Savonia in Finland as the Finnish surname Juutilainen from this region refers to the Jutes. All these germanic tribes were pagans worshipping Tiw, Woden and Thunor very much like their Viking neighbors with Tyr Odin and Thor.
