Big Charles does usually have ets or atques between gentes, but I'd have to see the manuscripts (both of the capits and for Paul) to properly compare. in either case a better comparison might be between paul and whoever he's basing his history on? who'd he read?

Paul was at C's court, fwiw, so he encountered early medieval English there, and possibly at Benevento. Paul's all we've got for that period of Lombard history (he was reading Secundus of Trent, who lived earlier, + Gregory of Tours, Gregory the Great, Isidore, and maybe Bede).

I'd be interested to see (not saying you should do this, bigger task than a twitter thread!) a comparative look at ways continentals referred to england/the english in the eight century.

It's a weird time because Mercian political structures/Northumbrian knowledge production had come online in a big way but neither of those things would end up unifying 'england' so it's kind of liminal. I wonder what contemporaries thought

Like how did Alcuin self-id? Did other people talk about/label alcuin?

A friend is looking at how Irish are ID’d in texts but several ppl have mentioned that the English dimension is worth exploring.

Cool! Yeah, my impression for the English is that it's very patchy & uneven. Would love to see a study with considerations of geography, networks, chronology

even referring to this all as "english" leaves a yucky taste in my mouth -- "lowland british polities"

Well, I’d not call Northumbria Lowland Britain.

Fair enough! Trying to imitate geographical usage I've seen elsewhere, but also not necessarily the most useful
