Ingaevones

The Ingaevones (Latin pronunciation: [ɪŋɡae̯ˈwoːneːs]) or Ingvaeones were a Germanic cultural group living in the Northern Germania along the North Sea coast in the areas of Jutland, Holstein, and Lower Saxony in classical antiquity.

According to the speculations of Rafael von Uslar, this threefold subdivision of the West Germanic tribes corresponds to archeological evidence from late antiquity.

Pliny ca AD 80 in his Natural History (IV.28) lists the Ingaevones as one of the five Germanic races, the others being the Vandili, the Istvaeones, the Hermiones and the Bastarnae.

Ing appears in the set of verses composed about the 9th century and printed under the title The Old English Rune Poem by George Hickes in 1705:[5] Ing wæs ærest mid Est-Denum Gesewen secgum, oþ he siððan est Ofer wæg gewat; wæn æfter ran; Þus heardingas þone hæle nemdun.

The three sons of Neugio are named Boguarus, Vandalus and Saxo—from whom came the peoples of the Boguarii (Baiuvarii), the Vandals, the Saxons and Taringi (Thuringii).
