The British Isles were invaded so many times by so many different groups it's ridiculous. You really have to wonder what they all expected to find there.
Invading countries was pretty much the norm back then, the migration period didn't just take place in England. You have any idea how often France or Italy got invaded?
Well when you come from that is to become Denmark it is understandable that you nope out of that region. Because kamelaasa.
According to context, I believe this is a Denmarkian tradition of expelling, ass first, all camels from the Denmarkish homeland, which is why, to this very day, you still won’t find many camels roaming the streets of Copenhagen, if I recall correctly.
And to think most of it might have been avoided if Boudicca's army didn't get cocky.
