It is a difficult question to answer. For my thesis I think I can use AEnglisc or Anglian, simply because I don't look at Wessex or Sussex or Essex but for the scholars who do study those places, Early Saxon studies? But of course Saxon also refs to the people from Saxony.

True, thanks for the reminder. Although Ine’s code may have been altered by Alfred to some degree, I believe.

True, but he as an Anglian person himself. Shame we don’t have a contemporary with Bede from a “Saxon” area. At any rate, I’ll use Early English for my own purposes although I still find it problematic. Not as bad as Anglo-Saxon though.

Never said it was consistent, I’ve always thought the identity terms and how people identified is a shaky business, and very malleable. It’s hard to discuss peoples in general terms because of this and with a lack of source material although it means we need to qualify meaning.
