What did the Anglo Saxons do? Like did they Shape The Way Britian is today or what?
Q. I need a thesis for a Research Paper on Anglo-Saxons. And i need help. Any good thesis ideas?
Asked by Austin - Tue Jan 12 15:05:08 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The articles here are a good starting point: And yes, they shaped Britain. When they arrived, Britain was a series of warring territories; by the time of the Norman Conquest, the Saxons had forged those disparate kingdoms into a strong whole. Our language is based on their language, our judicial system based on their judicial system, and so on and so forth. Their influence is still visible in much of Britain today.

Asked by DMH - Mon Aug 31 19:51:34 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. it depends, each celtic nation had their own cultures and traditions. The celts that lived in England were very much "roman" thats why historians refer to them as romano-british. As for the Anglo-saxons, known today as the english were originally made up of many different germanic tribes (majority were angleans and saxons) that came over from Denmark, and i believe some tribes came over from norway and sweden aswell. you would have to look up differences between the germanic people and celts of that time. also they were all pagans at that time. sorry for not giving a full answer, im not quite sure how i would explain it.

In 1066, what could the Anglo-Saxons have done to prevent being defeated by the Norman/Vikingr?
Q. I'm quite into alternate history, but from what I know ffrom that period the anglo-saxons were well and truely toast that day. How could the anglo-saxons turn a defeat into a victory? If that is even possible?

A. First off, nothing to do with the Vikings, so forget that. The English actually had a better position than the French, and were doing pretty well all told. Their fatal mistake was chasing the French as they retreated, thus breaking ranks and turning into a bit of an unruly rabble, which the French then got the upper hand over.

After the Anglo Saxons settled in Britannia was there rivalry between the two?
Q. I know there was rivalry between the kingdoms like Northumbria and Mercia, but was there distinction between the Angles & Saxons?
Asked by J - Wed Sep 16 08:21:44 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Yes, there was such a rivalry and distinction. The Angle kingdoms included Northumbria, Mercia, and East Anglia. The Saxon kingdoms were Essex, Middlesex, Sussex, and Wessex. Wessex eventually proved dominant, founding the Kingdom of England (which happened during the Viking invasions, so it only included western England and Wales). The Normans (arriving in 1066) were the first to use the term Anglo-Saxon, realizing the fusion of cultures.

A. There is a contemporary detailed study the Domesday Book(s), unfortunately only the heads of households are recorded but the population is estimated at between 1.25 2 million. There were, for an invading force, very few Norman knights (leaving out any ancillaries and women), between 6,000 8,000. There is also a significant Viking population concentrated in and spreading down from the North East. The Celts are believed to be only a small number mainly around Cornwall, Wales and parts of Scotland.

A. I'm going to second the suggestion to read Beowulf, except I suppose in this case you're going to have to re-read it and do so very carefully. I can guarantee you this information is in the book, but of course it's not going to be laid out in a careful question and answer format. You're going to have to observe how the characters behave. For example, say there's a battle scene. What are the warriors doing (beyond fighting)? Would you say they act honorably? Are they violent? That sort of thing. Trust me, the information IS there.

A. Berries and nuts grew wild. There were plenty of them pretty much all over. If you've ever come in contact with a wild black berry bush you'd know what I mean. They just kind of pop up in the forest and you kind of just walk into them and get stuck. I don't claim to know much about horticulture but those black berries are almost like a vine, and vines grow up and spread everywhere completely without the assistance of humans. I'd say the first "cultivation" of any "berry" by any culture was the GRAPE. (if the grape is a berry...well, it LOOKS like a berry) Berries grew in such abundance in the wild that there was no need to cultivate/grow them. Also berries were never needed in such a great quantity that someone would WANT to cultivate/gr [cont.]
