Editing Chatti (section)

==Chasuarii and Chattuarii==
Two tribes in northern Germany have names that are sometimes compared to the Chatti. The [[Chattuarii]], whose name appears to mean that they are dwellers upon the Chatti lands, or else Chatti people, lived near the Rhine, probably between [[IJssel]] and [[Lippe]]. They came to be seen as [[Franks]] and apparently moved over the Rhine as a Frankish people, to settle into the corner of land between the Rhine and Maas rivers.<ref name=palaeo/>

The name of the Chattuarii is in turn, sometimes compared to another people called the [[Chasuarii]] mentioned by several classical authors. The Chasuarii were a Germanic tribe mentioned by [[Tacitus]] in the ''[[Germania (book)|Germania]]''. According to him, they dwelt to the north of the [[Chamavi]] and [[Angrivarii]], who dwelt in turn to the north of the Bructeri, between Ems and Weser, however the name of the Chasuarii most often is interpreted to mean "dwellers on the [[Hase]] [river]", a tributary to the [[Ems (river)|Ems]]. The second century geographer [[Claudius Ptolemy]] mentions that the Kasouarioi lived to the east of the Abnoba mountains, in the vicinity of [[Hesse]], but this account of northern Europe is thought to contain confusions derived from using different sources.<ref>{{citation|last=Schütte|title=Ptolemy's Maps of Northern Europe|year=1917| page=119|publisher=Kjøbenhavn, H.
