Supports notion that things rather more complicated than Angles, Saxons+Jutes in post-Roman period... Franks in South, Suevi in East Anglia>

@Harry_cartoons The Pactus Legis Salicae ref is esp important as implies Frankish involvement in ?Kentish law courts! -
@caitlinrgreen Intriguing - I shall investigate for sure. Of course, Kent also atypical in retaining its Iron Age tribal name! -
@Harry_cartoons Indeed :) Ofc, Deira, Bernicia, Lindissi etc all pre-English names reused by ASs, but not of such great antiquity as Kent -
@caitlinrgreen Yes, not unique for sure, but seems to show unusual continuity through Iron Age, Roman period, and into Anglo-Saxon kingdom!
