        Finally, Guy Halsall's suggestion that the British writer Gildas (c.500) had a Gothic name: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=k9Rjq8EnQ44C&pg=PA53#v=onepage&q&f=false …pic.twitter.com/abnXRlqF0t

        Fwiw, Halsall is not first to note the difficulty over the name Gildas & its resemblance to the Mauretanian Gildo:https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=q2U3i1X8B50C&pg=PA24&lpg=PA24#v=onepage&q&f=false …

        Does that tie in with the "King Arthur from Scythia" thesis, as seen in the Clive Owen movie?

        It might, as might this too (https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/721072655621877761 …), though the 'Sarmatian hypothesis' has serious evidential problems...!

        @caitlinrgreen Scythia seems a popular place for medieval peoples to set an origin story. Must have been a very busy place in the mythic age

        @HyettNeal unclear -- could be entirely legendary, or something to do with Goths in Roman army, or.....
