One group of people with Eastern Germanic heritage were called the Vandals. These people were originally from Jutland, and they settled in areas between the Vistula and Oder rivers during the first century AD where it is listed on the Biblical Timeline with World History. Based on historians, these people had wagons as their home, and they travelled from one pasture to another. When they remained in the Danube region, they provided troops and military reinforcements for the Romans. They also adopted Arianism or the heretical form of Christianity.
Key Facts about the Vandals and Anglo-Saxons
Tacitus first used the word Vandilii to describe this group of Germanic people that were from the ancestry of East Germans. During the Marcomannic War of 166 AD, these people decided to live in a place that is now referred to as Silesia. By the third century, or the time when the Roman Empire was experiencing great crisis due to invasions from its opponents, the Vandals joined forces with the Samaritans to conquer the frontier of the Roman Empire along the upper areas of the Rhine River.

The Anglo-Saxons, on the other hand, were people who remained in Great Britain since the fifth century. They also included a few other groups from Germanic tribes who stayed on the southern portion of the island along with their descendants.
The early parts of the Anglo-Saxon era included medieval Britain’s history from the end of the Roman’s reign. This period was also considered as the migration period because of massive human migration throughout Europe beginning 400 AD. These migrants included those with Germanic ancestry including the Anglos, Saxons, Suebi, Goths, Franks, and Lombards. However, these people were eventually defeated by the Slavs, Huns, Avars, Alans and Bulgars.
Vandals Joined Forces with Other Tribes
In 406, the Vandals decided to join forces with some of the freed slaves from Pannonia, as well as with a few other barbarian tribes. These people included some Goths, Suevi and nomadic Alans that bravely overcame the frozen Rhine into the Roman Gaul. Their reason for following this route was to save themselves from the attack of the Huns.
After these people have conquered France, they decided to remain in the southern part of Spain after crossing the Pyrenees. The Vandals also lived in the countryside, yet it left several towns with their native population. These people also seized the Roman ships, and they succeeded in piratical raids to the coasts of Greece and various parts of the Mediterranean.
Downfall of the Empire
By 409 AD, the Roman empire began to fall apart because of a lack of control from its emperor. It was at this time that some of Emperor Constantine’s army were in Spain, and that made it difficult for his army to reach Gaul quickly. Eventually, the Germans residing at the western part of the Rhine river revolted against him, and a number of invaders from the eastern portion of the river finally reached Gaul. At that time, Britain no longer had any form of protection or troops after it had succumbed to massive raids by the Saxons from 408 to 409 AD.

AMERICANS ARE VERY IGNORANT ABOUT SPANISH HISTORY. SOME ANGLO-SAXON TRIBES DID TRAVEL TO CENTRAL AND NORTHERN SPAIN, NOT JUST BRITAIN. LOOK AT A HISTORY ATLAS OF EUROPE AND YOU WILL SEE THIS WAS A FACT. ROMANS USED TO CALL THE ANGLES “ANGULOS”. NOW THERE EXIST MANY PEOPLE OF SPANISH DESCENT WITH THE SURNAME “ANGULO”. BUT MANY IGNORANT AMERICANS THINK THAT THE SURNAME IS ABOUT GEOMETRY (AN ANGLE).
Anglo Saxon and Vandals are the the same people. They were the original descendants of Ancient Hebrews/Israelites who migrates from Caucasian Mountain to a place called Poland today in Europe led by their leader called Odin/Wodi. They were generally known in Europe as “German”. From Poland, they dispersed across Europe and conquered many Aboriginal Europeans people called Basques, Slavs, Celts, Latin/Romans and others, and got assimilated with them. Their original tribal name is Ebura/Eburone, from which came the English name “Hebrew”. The Arabic form of this name is “Haiburra/Haibirra/Khaybar. they fought fiercely against Romans and conquered Roman Empire. They came to Spain, and from there they cross the Straight of Gibraltar to North Africa in the leadership of Gaiseric. After the Belisalius war of year 553, some of them migrated to what is now Nigeria with the “Ark of Covenant” and founded a Kingdom call Panda/Opanda. Panda means Vandal. In Spain, they were known as Andalus/Fandalus. Ark of the Covenant was being placed in Ageh Mountain at Rivers Niger – Benue Confluence by our Ancestors, which nobody could dare go near the Mountain at his will, but only time assigned.
