Quote: the gigantic "Twelve Battles" of Briton vs. Saxon, are not showing up archaeologically. No great fields of bones.
They seldom do though. I'm sure that the scrap between William and Harold was the biggest battle on British soil during the whole early medieval period but there's not one jot of archaeology to indicate that thousands of men died there.
And it's not like anyone has made a concerted effort to excavate any of the 12 sites...probably because no one can agree on where any of them were.
