@caitlinrgreen Nicked both of those thank you! Bede was a Geordie like me you know!
@Tweets2CV Lol! Well, James Campbell has argued that he was of Lincolnshire stock originally & I have offered supporting evidence ;)
@caitlinrgreen The new Jarrow March in protest of this ethnic theft starts next Monday! I will be the County Banner holder at the front!
@Tweets2CV Hah! Jarrow < ‘at the settlement of the Gyrwe’, the Gyrwe being a S Lincs group (Crowland Abbey was 'on middan Gyrwan fenne'!) ;)
@caitlinrgreen Crowland was a midge reeking swamp! St Guthlac found only devils in residence! Angles were aristocrats too posh for mires!
@Tweets2CV lol, possibly true to a degree, but the Gyrwe were def a Fenland ppl & 1 that Bede just so happens to mention several times..! ;)
@caitlinrgreen @ettonvale any version for my time and the #GreatHeathenArmy ?
@Alfie_the_Great @ettonvale It's listed but not up yet---was published in the Penguin translation of Asser, if that helps :)
@caitlinrgreen @FW_Medieval some of us remember being taught using those maps! :) thanks for a nostalgic moment!
@caitlinrgreen Apparently the Cornish allied themselves to the Vikings, against the Anglo Saxons..
