Sub-Roman Britain (Cavalry etc)

[Alanus]

Movies aside, it seems highly unlikely that Orleans was named after the family of Aurelianus, more likely after Marcus Aurelius. From 407 to "the end," the city was controlled by the Alans, first by King Eothar and in the 450s by Sangiban. What I have been championing in the past few posts, is a revised and better understanding to the last stages of "sub-Roman Britain." Certainly Ambrosius played his important part, but the gigantic "Twelve Battles" of Briton vs. Saxon, are not showing up archaeologically. No great fields of bones. And all I'm saying is that the "old" approach was based on conjucture and romantic exaggeration based on legend, not fact.
