[Sca-cooks] Interesting article-

[JIMCHEVAL at aol.com]

The parallel is in modern preconceptions of how all this change happened.  
On the Frankish side, I don't think there's any serious recent historian who 
 still accepts the narrative of "barbarian hordes" wiping out what was left 
of  Roman civilization. I know less about the English side, but certainly 
the  article suggests a similar idea exists about the end of Roman rule in 
England.  And it is interesting to see that paleoanthropology can undermine 
the old ideas  in both cases.

Of  course, the linked article had nothing to do with the Franks, or the  
Continent, but was specific to the British Isles. And there are far too  
many other factors involved to suggest that there was any  parallel.
