I remember chatting to a guy maybe 10 years a go, at a fancy dress party, he was James Bond, and he was madly fond of Arthuriana!
Anyway having found this out and having recently read The Age of Arthur byJohn Morris I mentioned this to him and it was like I had mentioned a family black sheep ....anyway after lecture on the wrongs of the book we got chatting about the possibilty that much of southern England may have been subject to flooding and desease as a result, which chased a lot of the population out and that the fleeing nobility crept out to Brittany etc.
My questions are ;
(1) is this a serious postulation ?
(2) if so this lack leadership would make it easy for an incombant or incoming German elite to get a grip on any subject population left behind.
(3) it may also leave the way for a mass/sizeable influx into an empty(ish) land from both east and west.
