Thanet

Tanet

An island off the coast of England occupied by Hengist’s Saxon forces during the times of King Vortigern.

When the Saxons invaded England, King Vortigern’s son, Vortimer, drove them back to Thanet and defeated many of them in subsequent battles. From here, they fled back to Europe to regroup.

In Arthur’s reign, Cheldric and the Saxons fled to Thanet after suffering a crushing defeat at the hand of Cador of Cornwall.
