Fascinating article. I had not heard of this proposed 5th century social upheaval in England before. I wonder if this could explain the apparent disappearance of the Britons from most of the island and their replacement by Anglo-Saxons. Old English has very, very few recorded British (Celtic) loanwords which is inconsistent with a conquering people having assimilated another. Yet, no mass graves sufficient for the Britons to have been slaughtered have been found. I will likely have to get the full book. http://pegasusbooks.com/books/the-anglo-saxons-9781643133126-hardcover http://pegasusbooks.com/books/the-anglo-saxons-9781643133126...
