Yes, indeed. Vortigern should've never invited them in. Always a dangerous precedence.

Yes, I saw that article. The interesting thing is that opposed to the Vikings in Normandy, the Langobards in northern Italy, the Vandals in Andalusia, or the Franks in northern France, this invading body replaced the language of the previous invaders with theirs.
