304) that it belongs to the Aremoric revolts of the fifth century is, I think, wrong.
Such an expedition from Britain at such a date is incredible.] [Footnote 2: The attempt to find eastern British names in Brittany seems a failure.

M.de la Borderie, for instance, thinks that Corisopitum (or whatever the exact form of the name is) was colonized from Corstopitum (Corbridge on the Tyne, near Hadrian's Wall).

But the latter, always to some extent a military site, can hardly have sent out ordinary _emigres_, while the former has hardly an historical existence at all, and may be an ancient error for _civitas Coriosolitum_ (C.xiii (I), i.
p.

491).] [Footnote 3: Freeman (_Western Europe in the Fifth Century_, p.

164) suggests that a migration of Britons into Gaul had been in progress, perhaps since the days of Magnus Maximus, and that by 470 there was a regular British state on the Loire, from which Riotamus led his 12,000 men.
