Vinoviloth

Vinoviloth are one of the tribes in Scandza (Scandinavia) mentioned by Jordanes in De origine actibusque Getarum in the 6th century CE.

Jordanes writes: And there are beyond these the Ostrogoths, Raumarici, Aeragnaricii, and the most gentle Finns, milder than all the inhabitants of Scandza.

Alfred Anscombe proposes that the Vinoviloth were Goths settled in Britain at Vinovia.

These would be the Goths mentioned by Asser as ancestors of Alfred the Great.

These names, in his view, have a parallel development because Lancelot can be associated with Binchester (Vinovia).
