It was also mostly aimed at Red October, who gave nothing but a big "I think..." I really do try to live by that logical credo that says that if it's not a fact, it's just a guess, and if you can't show it then you don't know it. That's why I qualified the Saxon connection by saying that at this point it's just hearsay.


I can imagine. Most of my information comes from a small booklet published by one of my relatives many decades ago. She did all the work, and it's still largely incomplete.

Hence my reference to the domesday book in my reference to Hastings; I know you appreciate good sound primary source scholarship!
