Marek, yes, right, *relatively* considered each of these major or minor
haplogroup portions probably more or less were a significant segment of
their populations.

However I meant 'minority' in an statistically *absolute* sense,
considering the *entire* population - which is important to estimate any
potential genetic impact by hg I1 people.

And so it is - I1 was (and still is) an absolutely *minority* of an
entire population of Dames, Germans, Dutchmen and Frisians. And in this
sense only a certain minority of those medieval mercenaries could bear
hg I1, at all. And so, also considering their number and sojourn time,
their genetic impact on Iberian populations surely could have been
between rather little and none.

Also, nobody knows, if supposedly 'German' (all sorts of origins could
'German' mean in those medieval times) troops were of overwhelmingly
Saxon origin. I'm in doubt about this.

Best regards.
Jürgen
