Evidence of ethnic change is clear. Language and personal names changed. Unless one assumes that for some mysterious and never explained reason or reasons most people in Northumbria abruptly decided to abandon one identity and wholly embrace another.
I'm wondering about the extinction of Rheged in the early-mid part of this period, and the interaction with an expanding Mercia. A nominal boundary for Mercia would seem to be at the Mersey. However there is a linguistic boundary NorthWest and SouthEast of the Ribble, with Fells and Becks to the North, Brooks, burns, hills and Haugrs' to the South. So the whole 'Terra inter Ripam et Mersam' as the Domesday book puts it, is a kind of liminal zone. I would guess that the Suthern boundary of Rheged would be Lancashire North and West of the Ribble, in the Hundred later named Amounderness.
If it was not for the hobby of metal detecting this hoard would of been ploughed to fragments and lost forever. And to think British archaeology wanted our hobby banned.
Waterworth is my mothers maiden name and I know her family held or owned this Castle in the 18th and 19th centuries, but beyond that we have scarce information about it. Mr Richard Waterworth made some unsound business ventures in the 1820's and lost his estate and I presume this Castle too.
Everytime she moves I hear plastic game pieces shuffle around. It's kinda distracting. Like hearing tiddlywinks move, a bunch of them. I'm trying to listen closely & learn though.
Hope you don't mind me asking, but what does ''❣🇮🇲🇬🇧⚡🇩🇰👑'' mean? I genuinely can't read/understand it in the slightest. ffs, i feel like my dad saying that 😂
As soon as I saw the garnet inlay of some of the pieces of the hoard, the first thing that came to mind was the Sutton Hoo garnet inlaid pieces. They look so much alike that maybe it was the same person who made them all.
