The English and the Celts - no genocide?

[authun]

The Anglo-Saxons evidently did not adopt Brittonic as Franks adopted Gallic.

Hi Ambrosius,

How do you know that the Franks spoke Gallic?

And as a consequence, when discussing the period around the year 500AD, that comment is 400 years out of date!

So you see, that Vindolanda Tablet - when read with a little background knowledge, actually reinforces the Germanic attitude towards Celts which we see expressed 400 years later in Britain.

Firstly, I did write if that comment is typical.

However, I don't understand your reasoning when you firstly argue that it probably does not apply because it is too early and then follow this by claiming that it is applicable but attributable to germanic troops.

Or have I missed something?
