<br>> British mainland ( supposedly because there had been a spirited<br>> defence and progress had been halted) there were reports of similar<br>> incursions all along the Northern coast of France.<br>><br>> This is the first time I have heard mention of A/Saxons trying their

<br>Boulogne. Another one is located in the Picardie-region. Northwest of<br>Abbeville (Abbegem in Flemish), there's a place called Rue, at the mouth<br>of the river Somme, where archeological remains of a settlement were found.
<br>Maybe even bigger numbers of Saxons must have settled in Normandy, in<br>places as far south as Bayeux and Caen. More can be read here:<br><br><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/scho074hist01/scho074hist01_0002.htm" target="_blank">
