that was exactly my impression; makes me wonder about the reasons for obscuring (apparently not to deny – so then why? +
was it primarily because it didn't *need* explicating – while for children, who still had to learn, it did?)
Interesting idea & not implausible :( Fwiw, Freeman-like view that Britons all driven out etc still has academic supporters, alas.
thus the concept of #darkages because it does allow this vision of starting as independent nation through Alfred
in fact, Freeman argues for a much longer continuity, all the way to the English' continental origins
and presents Roman influence as the one mitigating factor in Britain's pre-English history, interestingly
it's the Welsh he really loathes.
Naturally he hates them because they do not fit the narrative they are the live proof his demonstration is flawed
