Information
Anglia is a land occupied by the Angles, standing where Caerwent once was.
The Cymri of Britain would call the Angles "Saxons" but, in fact, they are not really Saxons at all, except in the generic sense. They are the Angles. If anyone talks to them, they would tell that they left their native land of Angli because the Danes conquered it. Rather than live under foreign rule, they came to Britain to be free. (And it is convenient that the island provides so many slaves, too!)
Geography
- The Broadlands are the eastern portion of Anglia. Huge expanses of the eastern coast are coastal marsh.
