Somehow, I have a hard time picturing it.
Didn't the Goths have a hard time with naval matters?
It would seem quite a stretch to imagine any exodus to
an island, IMHO, especially when it involves going
(from Ravenna, at least) around Southern Italy, past the
now enemy Sicily, then around Spain through the
Straight of Gibraltar, which they were previously not
even able to cross, then up to Britain.
