@caitlinrgreen probably not, but "Byzantinized" felt even more incorrect so I ran w/Hellenized instead!2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@TheMedievalDrK@caitlinrgreen I think it's better to call them Saxi or Black Sea Saxons; they kept their Anglo-Saxon identity for long time3 replies 1 retweet 1 like -

@caitlinrgreen in non-fic ways, if there was evidence that they'd retained their AS identity into the 14thc I'd add to my prjct!2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@TheMedievalDrK @Archatgs Well, there's always the mid-14thC De Officiis of Pseudo-Codinus, which says language of Varangians was English ;)2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@caitlinrgreen @Archatgs heh indeed, but he's refing 13thc no, not mid-14thc Varangians?2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@TheMedievalDrK @Archatgs It's a difficult text, but fwiw Shepard considered it poss to refer to mid14thC + Saxi to retain identity then :)
