Jutes, joots, were members of one of three tribes that conquered most of England between about A.D. 450 and the late 500's. The other tribes were the Saxons and the Angles (see Anglo-Saxons). These three tribes were Germanic or Teutonic, and they were thought to have come from what is now Denmark and northern Germany. The Jutes settled in parts of southeastern Britain that are now known as Kent, southern Hampshire, and the Isle of Wight.
