About New England
The New England of Eastern Europe was a colony allegedly founded either in the 1070s or the 1090s by Anglo-Saxon refugees fleeing the Norman invasion of England. Its existence is attested in two sources, the French Chronicon Universale Anonymi Laudunensis and the 14th-century Icelandic Játvarðar Saga. They tell the story of a journey from England to Constantinople through the Mediterranean Sea, where the English refugees fought off a siege by heathens and were rewarded by the Byzantine Emperor Alexius I Comnenus. A group of them were given land to the north-east of the Black Sea, reconquering it and renaming their territory "New England".
