What's "Britain" ?

England barely existed at that period - Britain certainly didn't.

All right, Andy. The smallish landmass on the northern side of the
waterway currently referred to as the "English Channel"- north of the
present-day province of Normandy. Better? Didn't mean to insult the
English and get into a matter of semantics, it just seems stupid to
constantly bag on the French because they don't care to grab their
guns and shoot the brown people of the world every time one of our
elected leaders yells "saddle up".
