Does anyone have links to good discussion about using anachronistic terminology within medieval studies? I’m being potentially challenged on using early medieval Ireland/Scotland/England but honestly any other terminology at this stage is too general for me. #MedievalTwitter

Perhaps some of the recent stuff about the problems of the term "Anglo-Saxon" & alternatives would be helpful. I'm thinking of some things @adam_miya &
@ISASaxonists have written. Notably, "England" is a term that early English authors used themselves (e.g. "Englalond").2 replies 0 retweets 3 likes -

I am aware of the discussion, I have been following it closely. In Ireland and by Irish scholars I am being heavily challenged by my terminology for a England esp so I wanted some general justification for using it plus Ireland and Scotland (terms even more anachronistic)

On top of wanting to not use Anglo-Saxon anymore, I need to generally discuss why we use anachronistic terminology sometimes.
