later went to England. It is on the eastern coast of the
Danish peninsula, just where, opposite the islands, the broken
coast turns around toward Mecklenburg, between Flensborg &
Slesvik, north of Kiel Bay. They were close neighbors of the
Swaefe to the SE (later the Swabians of medieval Germany) & of
the Langobardi to the south (who later drifted to Italy &
became known as the dreaded Lombards).
