"Gaul" was a coloquialism that translates to "barbarian" and included the Germanii and Celtii tribes.
The Romans had to assimilate into Celtic and Germanic culture to spread into "Gaul". Which is ironic given that the Romans were once the Celtic tribe called 'Italic'.
Saxons Never Invaded England

Not really.

Was formed from West Francia, which was founded by Germanics from Franconia in what is today Southern Germany. East Francia became Germany.

I hate threads like this. Scattershot claims with no backing evidence.
Either link to well sourced documents and books or fuck off.

Never heard of it before. Thanks. Seems to be a case where Germanics ambushed some Romans during the end of the Migration Age. Good shit tbh.

Saxons, Angles, Jutes, etc; =/= Belgae
All the peoples of Europe are very similar genetically, and were still back then. They were very different culturally though, just as people are today. If you go to a village in Kent, Cornwall, Somerset, Yorkshire and Northumberland you will notice clear differences in culture, how they speak, how they act, what their general preferences are, and so on.
It is well known that the 'Gallic' world was rife with travel before the coming of the Romans. They had trade empires reaching from Asia to Iberia to North Africa and the Nearer East. Galatia was a Celtic territory right in the middle of Anatolia, modern day Turkey. The fact that there would be some 'Germanics' in Britain is not in the least surprising.
The call for aid by the Roman governor which resulted in a mass exodus of un-Romanised Germanics, notably Angles, Saxons and Jutes; was a substantial event in the history of the Isle. The fact that there were some Germanics there beforehand is irrelevant. The Saxons almost certainly had communities there as the Romans had constructed coastal defenses specifically to stop Saxon raiding parties. Inevitably some would have stayed. That again is not the same as the mass exodus that occurred and paved the way for the nation we know now as England to be born though.

Tortard, I hate to break the bad news to you. The Franks were the descendants of the Germans recruited to run Garrisons and the German tribes that invaded that region to get the legions out of Western Europe. The Celts later killed off all the Franks and took they culture like the Romans did to the Latins, but the place where they came from is still named after them. Frankfurt.
That region was never under the occupation of the Gauls. Not at any single point in history. Prior to the Germanic tribes, that region was host to a group of people called the Keltois, whom like Tacitus and Ceasar both described the Germans as being all Gingers.
It's sad how gay your attentps to try and con me into letting you fuck me in the ass with your ignorance and bullshit are. I am not even a Frank. Franks have their own bloodlines.

Jutes are not like the rest. Most Jutes are dark eyed and haired and are allergic to wheat.
