A common cultural origin might explain what the Bretons and Alans appreciated in each other after 451.

Caps-lock key requires attention.

Albret/Labrit rulers of Navarre As far as Basque L21 goes, there’s a plausible medieval contribution: the prolific Albret/Labrit family, whom I suspect to be a (self-conscious) part of the wide-ranging Late Antique British diaspora.

What I do know, confidently, is that N, O, P, Q and R descend from K2 and that K2* is Australian Aboriginal.

Wouldn’t it be fun if Rollo had L21!

B is gorillas, yes?

O+ is frequent everywhere: I, my mother and sister, and my first generation Malaysian Chinese wife have it.

Any data specifically for eastern Cambridgeshire and western Suffolk? My Tweed ancestors have a Brythonic surname, identify with the Welsh, and are recorded in south-east England parish registers since the early 1400s. The region was settled by Bretons after 1066.

In Brittany in the 930s, the Loire Viking leaders had Breton names. So there may be more “Celtic rebel” involvement in Viking than is commonly portrayed.
