Ron;

Interesting.  You stated that the regions had changed.  Was that by invasion
(military) and moving the 'border' or was it by natural migration.  Could
you also tell me as to the approximate years that happened?
Thanx,

Bryan E. Schulz

Brian,

Essentially, it was a combination of the results of one-time Saxon power
extension and name transferral due to intermarriage, not a case of
migration.

Here you can read up on details:
