@ Pete: *nods*
That's why we don't tend to have a fixed date in mind for our beginnings. So much is unknown. History and myth intermix. Camelot and Arthur as real in their way to us as Cnut and Richard the Lionheart.
It fascinates me it really does. One of my favourite historical periods. The names alone send a shiver down my spine. The Wulfingas, royal dynasty of East Anglia; Offa, King of the Mercians and builder of a great earthworks known as Offa's Dyke; and the poor lost kingdom of Elmet, where a British dynasty held out against the saxon invaders long after most of their kind had been overun or pushed to the fringes. Where I live now.
