True, though might be better to think of Gothic linkage? esp as Jutish royal house said to be part-Gothic in 9thC?
In the 9thC to be Gothic was to admit 1thC Germanic tribes confluences were very complicated who was who? To be Goth was not
Fwiw, Octa's 'father' also bears a name with 'Gothic' roots—can't help but wonder if seeing 6thC claim to inheritance of 4-5thC??
Oisc has a curious almost divine name this contemporary of Clovis would have had a grandfather fighting in time of Attila
Yes, v possibly a divine name and/or ancestor---def been argued :)
As I am still writing my kent saga I see Oisc as not divine Octa more of pirate who settles&Hengist as son of a roman soldier
to be Roman self-affirmation neither Norse as 9thC is age of Vikings yet not to be Roman as to be credited w/Engliscness
