  Our White Horse of Kent is a cousin of the Westphalian white horse, which is also rampant.
  Our Horse is believed to have come with Horsa and his brother Hengest.
  
  One estimate is that the People of Kent descend equally from the Celtic Britons of the Canti tribe, and from the Jutes led by Horsa and Hengest.
  
  Our Kentish King Ethelbert married the Frankish Princess Bertha, who brought the Gospel along from France and converted her husband to the Faith. She would have spoken the Frankish language, which was similar to the language spoken by the Jutes and Anglo-Saxons.
  
  So to be culturally British, we do have to know our history.
