The English and the Celts - no genocide?
Quote:That help?

Yes Ron, thanks. Something to follow up on.

Quote:The area which the monk has in mind is [was?] still known as Engilin.

I think it still does. I've seen it referenced several times. now all I need to do is make sure it's the same place.

The Fordham translation of Gildas doesn't mention it but I have seen one of the translations on the web where Gildas mentions Saxons returning to the homes. It's not clear whether he means back to their homes in the east or back to their homes on the continent. He of course is full of regret that the gospel was not taught to them before their return. Sounds pretty much like modern day english invading the costas but bringing nothing of spanish culture back on their return.

best
