The

article

discusses

the

early

history

of

the

Western

Germanic

peoples,

including

their

relationship

with

Rome

and

Christianity.

It

highlights

the

fact

that

the

West

Saxons

were

citizens

of

Roman

territory

but

did

not

follow

Roman

law

after

being

expelled

from

their

homeland.

The

author

argues

that

this

is

due

to

a

difference

in

how

the

people

lived:

they

did

not

maintain

an

elected

ruler

system

like

the

other

Germanic

peoples,

instead

adopting

a

hereditary

system

where

no

legitimate

king

could

rule

while

maintaining

loyalty

to

the

Christian

faith.

This

led

to

numerous

conflicts

over

power

and

territory

between

West

Germanic

tribes.

The

author

also

mentions

that

Rome

was

allowed

to

banish

the

Wightmen

from

Italy

due

to

their

refusal

to

adhere

to

Roman

law.
