Notes and Queries: A Medium of Inter-Communication for Literary Men, General Readers, Etc (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book explores the historical existence of Hengist and Horsa, two figures traditionally depicted as leaders of the Danes and Jutes who invaded Britain in the 5th century. The author argues that Hengist and Horsa were not actual individuals but rather symbols of authority represented by horse-headed poles carried into battle. Through meticulous examination of historical records and cultural traditions, the book challenges the widely held belief in Hengist and Horsa's physical existence, offering a nuanced understanding of their significance as cultural icons and symbols of power.
