At the time I imagined a lusty Saxon warrior dragging a somewhat willing Welsh Maiden into the bracken for a little genetic exchange, I think it may have gone both ways.
"...Our expression of blood groups in the blood typing test depends on the genes we get - one from each parent (Our genotype). Blood group A is dominant, which means that the result of our blood test (Our Phenotype) is group A whether we get one or two A genes from our parents. Group O is recessive, which means that we must receive both our parental genes as O to have an O blood group phenotype. If one parent gives us an O and the other gives us an A, we will test as A.
This was the heart of Wessex. There was a rumor that the Celts and the Saxons ganged up and invaded from the west, I don't agree my mother was and is AB and I am O+ as were my Father and Grandfather.
My son's grandmother (mother's side) comes from Blackpool.
If the Middle Age's were so bad, including the Plague time, how come so many of us can trace our heritage so far back?
