From Chapter 31.  "Horsa and Hengist, brothers, were sons of Wihtgils.  Wihtgils was the son of Witta;  Witta of Wecta;  Wecta of Woden;  Woden of Frithowald;  Frithowald of Frithuwulf;  Frithuwulf of Finn;  Finn of Godwulf;  Godwulf of Geat." ... "Vortigern received them as friends, and delivered up to them the island which is in their language called Thanet, and, by the Britons, Ruym.  Gratianus AEquantius at that time reigned in Rome.  The Saxons were received by Vortigern four hundred and forty-seven years after the passion of Christ, and, according to the tradition of our ancestors, from the period of their first arrival in Britain, to the first year of the reign of king Edmund, five hundred and forty-two years; and to that in which we now write, which is the fifth of his reign, five hundred and forty-seven years."

From chapter 37 of Nennius's "History of the Britons" he wrote "Then Hengist, who had already consulted with the elders who attended him of the Oghgul race---".   I read this to clearly mean that Hengist was also of the Clan or Tribe of Oghgul.  According to some accounts these people were Jutes from the island then known as Oghgul somewhere off the coast of current day Denmark.   Since in but a few years the peninsula was denuded of Jutes and Angles it is possible that the "island" was in fact the entire peninsula.   In any case, King Vortigern married Hengist daughter.    Hengist received the area called Kent as his base, and he then accepted the commission to protect king Vortigern's territories from the northern invaders.  The King agreed to give land and gold to all warriors Hengist brought to the task.

From Chapter 38.  Hengist, convinced Vortigern, to accept his counsel and sent for his sons Octa and Ebusa, both valiant men who fought against the Scots.  Octa and Ebusa arrived with forty ships. They sailed round the country of the Picts, laid waste the Orkneys, and took possession of many regions, even to the Pictish confines and near the wall called Gual.  They were given kingship of the countries in the north.

Since I discovered the above I have found a most interesting web page, it speaks about Hengist and names his daughter. Go to Rowena

The genealogy book "Ogle and Bothal" by Sir Henry A. Ogle, Baronet, 1902, indicates the possibility that the islands of Oghgul spoken of by Nennius were to the west of Britannia and not east.   Reasoning being Hengist sent for more warriors, these warriors came from "islands" and not an "island" and they sailed around the country of the Picts, laid waste the Orkneys and occupied several territories across the Frisian Sea, that is to say the land between Hengist, and the boundary of the Picts.   Now I have to get out the maps - - The mystery continues.

The Ogle name is thought to have been taken from a place name.  There is still an Ogle village in Northumberland.  I hypothesize Oghgul and Ogle to be the same people based on the reading of Nennius's "Historia Brittonum" see extract of chapters 31, 37, and 38. 

1) The name was established well before dictionaries, so spelling was in the writers ear.  The Germanic phonetic pronunciation of "Oghgul" and the current English pronunciation of "Ogle (long O - gle as in tingle)" are the same.  Current German pronunciation of Ogle is "O-glay".  To be phonetically correct in present day German "Ogle" would be spelled "Ogel", and yet oghgul would still be pronounced Ogle.

2) The Family owned large tracts of land in Northumberland prior to 1066 (the Norman Invasion).

The dilemma still exist that:
Dane Law included most if not all of Northumberland.  During "Viking" raids into Saxon territories in the south of England the Saxon Chronicles tell us the Danes would stash their families, and their booty in Northumberland.  They would not have done so unless they were very sure the place was secure to them, or that they could easily defend it.  The Ogle Genealogist (obtained from the Ogle Family Association www.ogles.org), Volume 24, includes an extract from the Saxon Chronicles and includes all mentions of Northumberland.

My current hypothesis is, 1) The Ogle clan was too strong for the Danes and was not assimilated during the time of Dane Law.  2) They were sufficiently strong in 1066 to be useful to King William, and by doing homage retained all their lands as is previously and elsewhere stated.  3) The dilemma is that my ongoing DNA research has in one place an indication that I have Celtic DNA, but in another place not.  Perhaps I will eventually verify that I am an Ogle from Old England.  It would be most helpful if an Ogle of England and Ireland would take the DNA test for a comparison.  Of course we still need a paper trail.
 

We know it was not long before the new settlers realized Bretanie was a rich land, and through centuries of being forcibly disarmed by Roman decree, the Brettas were ripe for picking.

Remember that during "Viking" invasions late in the first millennium, their sacking and burning of the towns and churches, destroyed all or most of the libraries and schools of the Northumberland kingdoms. The documents found by Archeologist, and Historians to-date are believed to be copied from early documents.

I have yet to again find the reference, but I have read that Oglethorpe is a "Viking" name, the part "thorpe" being a word meaning near, or neighbor.  If this is true then oglenear or ogleneighbor would positively indicate that the place ogle existed sometime during the "Viking expansion period" [800-1000 AD].  The Oglethorpe clan must have been migrating rather than on a plunder raid, and settled near the Ogle area.  During the "Viking" take over of much of England during this time they used Northumberland as a safe haven for their families and plundered goods - why were the Northumberland people so friendly?  Read Scandinavian Ogle?

Some time not long after 436 AD the Saxons were allied to the Huns and until about 452-3 AD were fighting their way westward with the Huns.  When the Hun king died, the coalition fell apart because of the bickering of the numerous sons.  The native tribes then turned on and overthrew the squabbling Huns.  It seems to me that this alone would have occupied the Saxons for a few years while they re-established their territories. 

Some historians state the Jutes established the first settlements in South East Britania in the year 447 AD.  This is two years before Hengist (said to be Saxon) was given Kent, But the chronicles tell us Hengist sent for his daughter in 449 AD, one must be in a place before sending for another, this puts him there before 449 AD.  This suggest Hengist was a Jute. 

This leads to the next possibility, the "Oghgul race" may have been Scandinavian, Jute, Angle or even Frisian, and not Saxon.  If Hengist was of the Saxon race, the warriors and relatives he sent for would be all Saxon would they not?  In the beginning he made all the deals, so why and how did he succumb and allow the new land to be named after the Angles.

The homeland on the peninsula from where the Jutes and Angles came must have been abandoned by the Jutes and Angles because in but a few years the entire peninsula was occupied by the ancestors of the present day Danes.

The name Saxon was often given to all of the invaders, regardless of, or perhaps not knowing, from where they came.
