The allusion to "Britain or some other island" is interesting. Perhaps reference to mythical origins on island in the North?
And a different origin myths altogether?
Fascinating isn't it!? Would love to know more of these oral tales!
Absolutely. Enslavement on an island, redemption by a certain man for the cost of a horse. Orally trans. origin myth to me.
@caitlinrgreen Interesting. Difficult to blame the EU for his arrival
@RichardGrahamMP True. In fact, Gloucester looks to have been quite cosmopolitan in the Roman era---see also http://www.caitlingreen.org/2015/10/oxygen-isotope-evidence.html …
@caitlinrgreen para here on Roman graves findings & Goth skull good base for talk #GloucesterHistoryFestival2016: interested?
@RichardGrahamMP Would love to, but am alas unavailable then; perhaps the next time around, though?
