A. So says one version of the Chronicle, the rather spotty Canterbury Epitome, which leaps from the year 650 to 685 to 714: "685. In this year in Britain it rained blood, and milk and butter were turned into blood." Other manuscripts merely detail the accessions, actions, and deaths of various kings and bishops for that year. It may be worth considering that, to an Anglo-Saxon monk, "Britain" may have meant not the entire island but only the part of it still possessed and inhabited by the pre-Saxon Celts--the region that is now Wales and Cornwall. In other words, the chronicler may have been recording a report carried from the far side of the island and involving some very (to him) odd people who spoke a different language and celebrated… [cont.]

A. The Anglo-Saxon's came from the Germanic lands north of Rome. They took over the land that today is called England. I have never heard of the Jewish tribe theory and upon hearing it now I don't believe it is true. Most presidents of the United States have been WASPs. The only one that was not a Protestant was JFK. There are also Presidents like Dwight D. Eisenhower who was of German decent and Andrew Jackson was an Irish Protestant. To be a WASP makes it much easier to be President. However, you do not have to be a WASP to be President.

The America of 1789 was even more Protestant than it was Anglo-Saxon, but after 200 years...religious diversification has produced a society which is only 55% Protestant...37% Catholic, 5% Jewish and 3% Orthodox."

A. My surname is also Wilson, so I looked it up. According to wikipedia: Wilson is a common surname of English and Scottish origin. It literally means "son of Wil" (William, an Old German name). It is the eighth most common surname in both England and the United States and the third most common surname in Scotland. It is also now quite common as a surname in many other English speaking countries such as Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. It also had some popularity as a first name in England beginning in the 1000s and 1100s, after William the Conqueror took the throne. As a first name Wilsons are found primarily in the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Why do people class Normans as different ppl as dey were actually frm the same stock from Vikings Anglo-saxons
Q. I mean Normans were Vikings who infact same as Anglo-Saxons, all Germanic tribes, so how did Normans become different to Anglo-Saxons in Britain and the talk of saying Normans had this impact and this, well infact they looked the same, spoke the same Language, same culture etc.
