Hi
I have been musing on the Anglo-Saxon, Viking early Norman era recently and have not been able to find a forum equivalent to RAT. Bit's & bobs on My Armoury, Sword Forum Inernational and VikingSwords plus a few gaming forums.
Is there a go to forum for the era AD500 io AD1200?
Cheers

I think that this might qualify slightly under Byzantine considering many of the Varangians were norman after Hastings.
But really allies and enemies of Rome would be better for it, as Post-roman Britain and Rome continued to relate to each other somewhat.
EDIT: Also, the Kievan Rus and Byzantium were close allies (and occasional enemies) so definately allies and enemies of rome

Many of the Varangians were Anglo-Saxon after Hastings, not Norman. The A-S nobility were displaced after the Normans moved into England and travelled to the continent in search of employment opportunities.

I'm more concerned with the non-Roman/Byzantine elements of the "dark ages" so don't feel that the Allies and Enemies is the right place to broach such questions. We push our luck with the Arthurian question as it is ;-)

Why not start a site? There is definitely a membership for one, lots of Dark Age reenactment groups these days. It needs a title that suggests something like, "Forum for the Germanic Dark Ages and Migration Era/Huns Welcome/Arthur Forbidden" Maybe a little less awkward than that.
