I had to look this up because I knew Shrewsbury and Shrewsburyshire predated 'Salop'.
They were Scrobbesbyri & Scrobbesbyrigscii.
The Normans simplified them to Salopsberia & Salopsciria.
Which became the town of Salop & the county of Salop.

Yanks are basically acting out the plot of Serpent's Walk by Randolph D. Calverhall (pseudonym of Muhammad Abd-al-Rahman Barker for his Neo-Nazi work) these days. The resemblance is uncanny.

"In 1991 he published a neo-Nazi novel, Serpent's Walk, under the pseudonym Randolph D. Calverhall" GREAT. Btw. why are linguists so incredibly often racists, irrationalists and reactionaries? 'linguistic turn' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._A._R...
