Subject: RE: Whence the name Caledonia for Scotland??
I've seen Lloegr explained as the bit the legions had. Can that be true, Dai?

Philippa, I just quoted above, and the best those books could come up with was Alba was the bit of Albion the English didn't have. And, if we call the Celts by the names they chose, can't we call us by the name we chose, ie English, not variants of Saxon? (And I am as much Saxon as anything else, myself}
