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! :)
@caitlinrgreen > so reference to Huns could be to overlord rather than tribe?
@JohnNewsham1 Agree that Priscus ref could be to either---w/ both options being interesting!---but Bede+finds+Scandinavian context suggests>
@JohnNewsham1 > potential for an actual Hunnic presence too, & def some evidence for non-'ASs' in 5thC Britain :)

@JohnNewsham1 Absolutely! Makes it so much more interesting! :)
