@caitlinrgreen That opens a can of worms. Bede writes of early Jutish presence in Kent so it's certainly a complex picture, but fascinating! -
@Harry_cartoons it does indeed---Ian Wood has written some very important pieces that discuss this :) -
@caitlinrgreen Where can I see them? -
@Harry_cartoons Procopis mentions 6thC Frankish claim to overlordship in Wars, VIII.xx.10... Woods & law codes, see Wood's essay on > -
@Harry_cartoons > "Frankish hegemony in England" in Carver (ed.) Age of Sutton Hoo, Woodbridge 1992 :) -
@caitlinrgreen Thanks! I take it that is Martin Carver who I have read in the past, and is very good on East Anglia. -
@Harry_cartoons Yes, that's him :) Ian Wood is one of leading authorities on Merovingians and done some v impressive work on ASs too :) - 4 more replies
