Consider for a moment that no term is perfect due to a lack of source material and knowledge of fluid identities that changed depending on environment and situation. You need to qualify it but medieval studies will always have an issue with generalization.

So instead of being angry about this, maybe think about the centuries of white supremacy and exclusion of BIPOC from medieval studies as a whole and that maybe using a phrase that is ahistorical but not racist is better than a racist one.

There's no good term, I agree. But Britain is recognised as a name for this island. So its existence does at least stretch back to the relevant period, which England's doesn't and in any case doesn't accurately cover.

Except during the period in question, Brittonic speaking people are British. English at any rate is used during that period too, to describe themselves. Bede, Ine, Alfred. So how to the lands in question? They aren’t British kingdoms. They are English speaking.
