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 -
Trouble is Anglo-Saxon 'Englalond' is not the same as modern England - it's how deal with these inexact mappings that is the challenge.

I know, I state outright to not assume some continuity from early medieval kingdoms to modern nations.
