Description Doverny is an island in the North Sea between Great Britain to the west to the Netherlands in the south.

The first inhabitants of the islands were from Celtic Britons, which named the island based of Common Brittonic name of water (for example dwfr in Middle Welsh, dŵr in modern Modern Welsh). The arrival of Germanic tribes from the East, Jutes & Saxons led to the intermarriage and assimilation of original Celtic and Germanic immigrant - which giving the birth of new ethnicity, Dovernish people and the land that they inhabited known as Doverny (same situation with Burgundy Kingdom/Duchy which derived from Burgundians & Saxony which derived from Saxons.

At least this is what I thought.

Doggerland is an island which should definitely be missed.

That I would imagine...
But what I meant was, things are going to be different all around for everyone in Europe. For one thing, there's another island for the Romans to have learned about and sailed to and perhaps built things on. There's another place for Anglo-Saxons to have settled, possibly limiting their flow into southern England (which would have produced quite a different history in and of itself, if the Celtic kingdoms weren't as overrun and perhaps even if the Romans weren't completely gone--and they weren't at that time). There's another island, to the east this time, for England to keep an eye on, another place that needs to be safely conquered if they're to expand and create a British Empire. There's another potential place for Scandinavian--that is Norse--culture to keep going, perhaps leaving paganism active for a little longer or perhaps not. Depending on what the island's like (more like England? Scotland? Ireland? Wales? Mainland Europe?) it's potentially another place for grain to grow. It is definitely a land that anyone will consider getting on their side when going after the British Isles, just like Ireland was.
There are so very many possibilities here...
