Quote:The germanic speakers in the east were unaffected by the plague
I've read that too, mostly as an explanation how the British could possibly lose from the Anglo-Saxons. But where on earth is it based on? Why would the Germanic speakers be unaffected, or even less affected? I have never read any scientific evidence to back that up, nor an ancient source even claim it.

Please explain why you think this would be the case. Were the rats afraid of the Germanic language? Big Grin
