[9] Kemble ("Saxon in England") suggests the resemblance between the
fictitious landing of Hengist and Horsa "in three keels," and the Gothic
tradition of the migration of Ostrogoths, Visigoths, and Gepidae to the

fixes the Germanic immigration into Britain at the middle of the fourth,
instead of the middle of the fifth century.
