I found the article

"Slavic Peoples" Wikipedia

Polabian Slavs (Wends) settled in parts of England (Danelaw), apparently as Danish allies;[citation needed] Polabian-Pomeranian Slavs are also known to have even settled on Norse age Iceland[citation needed].

No citations, so where are they getting this from? Is it an extrapolation from one or two known cases or did they find a 1,000 year old hoard of kielbasa in East Anglia?

Subject: [tied] English Pomeranians?

 

I was reading somewhere in Wikipedia the other day about Pomeranian (i.e. Slavic) settlement in eastern England as part of the Viking invasions. How did that happen? What evidence is there for it?  Was there any linguistic trace? Or is this just an extrapolation along the lines that both the Danelaw and Pomeriania were subject to the Danes, therefore, . . . ?
