Hi, Paul,

As far as continental (Saxonian) Europe is concerned this *is* proved- by 
the absence of anything able to lead to this. We're talking about _kings_ in 
the meaning of heritable rulers??
This is my level of knowledge, but maybe you (as an expert) know more about 
it. It really would surprise me.

Different in the Scandinavian areas: each sub-region had its own sub-king, 
and I guess that had been of some influence to the British A-S, perhaps even 
more than the Celtic customs.

Greutens/Regards
