        Post discusses intriguing refs in Bede's HE & Priscus, along w/ some poss arch+linguistic evidence and the British+continental contexts :)

        Priscus v interesting; arguably an oft ignored contemporary mid5thC ref to parts of Britain in 440s being under Attila's overlordship! :)

        Whilst perhaps surprising, idea of Hunnic presence+short-lived dominion over mid5thC "ASs" in Britain has, arguably, a reasonable context >

        @caitlinrgreen Fascinating read! IMHO most maps of who-ruled-what in 5th C Europe are oversimplified; reality prob was much more fluid.

        @caitlinrgreen Whole region seems a fractured soup, where Saxon-, Goth-, "Roman-" & Hun-led factions rose & dissolved constantly.

        @STORI3D_PAST Indeed, tho Peter Heather has some interesting points in how a sense of 'tribe' could survive this--they disappear+reappear!

        Suggested that context of Hun refs is that 5thC Britain saw not just 'Angles, Saxons+Jutes' present, but also perhaps Scandinavians, Goths >

        @caitlinrgreen not surprising, given that most of the Germania tribes were conglomerates under dominant tribal leadership. Cf Peter Heather.

        pp.255-6 are worth a look, if only for suggestion that Huns served on Hadrian's Wall in Britain during the L4thC...!https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=CrUdgzSICxcC&pg=PA255&lpg=PA255#v=onepage&q&f=false …

        @caitlinrgreen Interesting idea! No inscription w the fort's name has been found, so we only have Notitia/Ravenna to go from.

        @caitlinrgreen Also interesting that after a lull in early 4th C, pro's think the garrison was augmented at end of the C. Huns? Why not?
