From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Anglo-Saxons is the term usually used to describe the invading Germanic tribes in the south and east of Great Britain from the early 5th century AD, and their creation of the English nation, to the Norman conquest of 1066. The Benedictine monk, Bede, identified them as the descendants of three Germanic tribes:
Their language, Old English, derives from "Ingvaeonic" West Germanic dialects and transformed into Middle English from the 11th century. Old English was divided into four main dialects: West Saxon, Mercian, Northumbrian and Kentish. Place names seem to show that smaller numbers of some other Germanic tribes also came to Great Britain: Frisians at Freston, Frieston and Friston; Flemings at Flempton and Flimby; Swabians at Swaffham; perhaps Franks at Frankton and Frankley.

Asked by rachaeledawson - Tue Aug 25 21:04:08 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. A lot like the northmen. They would often boast about their exploits of manly adventure (such as on the battlefield). Such boast helped establish their identity as men. Answered by Bryan - Tue Aug 25 21:08:34 2009 Questions about Anglo Saxons for a paper? Q. I've looked everything up online, but I can't find any good sites. These are the questions : What did the warriors in Beowulf behave like? How did they settle arguments? Was Grendel alienated? Any information or web sites would be greatly appreciated :) I have, but I see no information about this. Asked by Lucius G - Wed Apr 29 10:18:46 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments 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.
