| Abstract: | suggests that careful reading of the textual evidence suggests that it was the Franks who were regarded as the chief threat to the Channel in the late-third and early-fourth centuries, the threat being to the German and Gallic coasts, and that it was only towards the end of the fourth century that Saxon raids on the north side of the Channel were recorded. This implies that the Saxon Shore was only so named around the year 400, and provides a context for later Frankish interest in England | |||
