Lincolnshire not the only area where groups of Taifali apparently found in the early medieval era; also in Gaul: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taifals#Presence_in_Merovingian_Gaul …
Interestingly, Peter Heather treats Taifali as ‘probably Germanic’, but others disagree—Edward James refers to them as ‘Asiatic nomads’...
