DescriptionSaxon.emigration.5th.cen.jpg	Saxon Emigration in the 5th century
Date	2 September 2011
Source	Based on Jones & Mattingly's Atlas of Roman Britain (ISBN 978-1-84217-06700, 1990, reprinted 2007, pp. 317, 318), Haywood's Dark Age Naval Power (ISBN 1-898281-43-2, 1999, pp. 84–86, 121), Lebecq's The Northern Seas (fifth to eighth centuries) (in The New Cambridge Medieval History, Vol I c.500–c.700, ISBN 13-978-0-521-36291-7, 2005, p. 643), and Wood's The Channel from the 4th to the 7th centuries AD in Carver's Maritime Celts, Frisians and Saxons (ISBN 978-0906780930, pp 93–97). The suggestion that settlements on the south coast of Britain were made from the Bessin is from Haywood (Vron, for example, was abandoned c. 450). The topographic map is from File:Europe relief laea location map.jpg, with copyright notice {{self\|cc-by-sa-3.0}}, downloaded 9 Oct 2010, with modifications done by myself.
