The New England (Latin: Nova Anglia) 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 (which ends in 1219) and the 14th-century Icelandic Játvarðar Saga.
