WP Former Countries - Things to do:

This still needs some work, particularly the Saxon part, but I have revamped the existing information so that it is presented in a better order and is not misleading in any way: a) The previous 'Bryneich' information needed clarifying. I have removed the kinglist because it is pure supposition that that line relates to Bryneich. b) I have removed a paragraph relating to post-634 expansion to the Northumbria page. The 'Forcibly United Northumbria' section should probably also be transferred to Northumbria. Does anyone have any strong opinions on this? c) I have removed all Saxon name forms, such as Æðelfriþ, as these are meaningless to anyone unfamiliar with the subject.

[edit] Brythonic spellings
While I think the modern Welsh spellings are useful, I think they are misleading for two reasons - firstly, the language spoken there, at that time was not quite "Welsh", in the sense of coming from the area now known as "Wales", and secondly, would have been very different to what is spoken in Wales today anyway, purely because of evolution. --MacRusgail 16:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
