@caitlinrgreen @morangles nothing wrong with a bit of controversy! ;)
@Rachel5742 @morangles True! For what it is worth, there is a case for putting Badon in Lindes/Lindsey ;)
@caitlinrgreen @morangles what case is that?
@Rachel5742 @morangles I argue it v briefly in book & an article: essentially, 1 of the etymological possibilities is Baumber nr Horncatle >
@Rachel5742 @morangles > and has really nice context with a 5th-6thC *successful* British kingdom and poss provincial continuity :)
@caitlinrgreen @Rachel5742 This said Badon sounds like a Bryttonic echo of Catalaunian Plains battle up to Roman/post Roman participants
@morangles @Rachel5742 Well, it depends on *why^ Gildas mentions it.... Was it because important, or just because in year or birth, or....
@caitlinrgreen @morangles given the British context and proximity to events one assume a significant event.
@caitlinrgreen @Rachel5742 Wait till Continental historians discover it, like it, use it and maybe fingers crossed
