I agree that the lack of known details about this time period makes it more fascinating. Speaking of which (and because today is March 31), you should do a video sometime on St. Patrick!
And since so much is open to interpretation, it's fertile ground for folklore and legend (e.g. King Arthur). And I probably will do an episode on Saint Patrick! Thanks for the idea.
Most Sussex old-timers say "Chidester" I think the reason for the lack of records of Sussex between 400 and 600 is a case of "who writes history?" Yes, the monks.... but they didn't write about Sussex because it was a 'non-state', not accepting Christianity until 600AD
The Thing Assembly was a governing assembly in early Germanic society, made up of the free people of the community presided over by lawspeakers. The word appears in Old Norse, Old English, and modern Icelandic as þing,
I’m from West Sussex. Great video very interesting
Thank you so much for your kind words and for supporting the channel
I’m from sussex. East Sussex, the high Weald. I’m quite proud that we were the last the place in England to convert to Christianity.
Thank you very much for watching the video! I hope that you enjoyed it.
Yep. Pronounced like Wheeled
Please do the other kingdoms
I think I did most of them. I'll go back and see if there are any I overlooked.
Excellent video. Thanks.
You're very welcome! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it.

Cool! And I meant March 17. 😆
@@tessstockslager5994 Thank you. :) Darn, I may not have it up in time for Saint Patrick's day.
The round table was probably the ancient gathering of nobles known as the thing it has its origins in the Icelandic regions.
I can believe that. And the Franks would have brought such a concept to Western Europe, now that I think about it.
Very interesting. I’m Sussex born and bred.
Chichester is pronounced Chit-Chester.
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it. And thank you for letting me know.
Channel Legendarium No problem! You sound like a Canadian history teacher I had at school.

@@HardWater91 Heh, that's the first time that someone said I sounded Canadian. :)
@@geoffchalcraft9432 In that case, I wonder if one of the reasons for Sussex's "disappearance" relates to its not being Christian.

I didn't realize that the Germanic kingdoms also had a Thing Assembly! Thanks for sharing that with us.
Chi-chester it’s pronounced. I was born there 😃

Ah, thank you for clearing that up. :)
