[MR] Looking For A Name? - German

[Alex Long]

Please forgive me, I was under the impression that we were referencing a time frame of 1159-1419 a.d., and to the best of my knowledge, by that time the Romans had pushed the Gallic tribes northward into the Isles. Unless, of course, I'm way off on the time frame of the Roman Empire. My apologies.
