Q. tell me the history of anglo-saxon and norman conquest...?
Asked by renmorebird - Wed Jun 14 03:58:47 2006 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. That is an interesting question. There is no short answer. The Anglo-Saxons were a culturally related people living in Great Britain from around the mid-5th century AD. Germanic peoples, including the Angles, Saxons, Frisians and Jutes, migrated to southern Britain, beginning after the end of Roman rule, though it is not known whether they substantially replaced the existing population. Over time the different peoples coalesced into a more unified culture. Perhaps under Offa of Mercia, and certainly under Alfred of Wessex and his successors, a kingdom of the Anglo-Saxons existed, which developed into the kingdom of England in the 10th century, one of the main developments of Anglo-Saxon history.

Q. Give Brief History on Celts, Anglo, Saxon, Jutes, Picts - Origins???
Asked by eyre - Thu Jun 1 08:37:31 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Previous answer is partially incorrect, as Anglo, Saxon, Jutes were Germanic peoples from what is now northern Germany and Denmark (although like the earlier Celts they seem to have come west from central Asia) and were not Celts. Celts were various tribes occupying western Europe and Turkey (Galatians) and possibly further afield and included Gauls and Picts. They spoke a family of languages more closely related to Latin than the Germanic branch of Indo - European languages. After the Romans left Britain, Saxons and Jutes colonised south eastern England, and Angles moved into the east coast further north as far up as eastern central Scotland. Picts were the Celtic people occupying Scotland and probably spoke a P - Celtic language more… [cont.]

Q. Which concerns in the Anglo-Saxon period were most important or troubling to the common man? Which were of the least concern to the common man? Why?

If the Ulster-Scots were of anglo-saxon heritage which they were then why the anti-English feeling?
Q. I mean in history the scot-irish were anti-english but they themselves were mostly of anglo-saxons whom were also english so why were they against eachother? I know the scots-Irish were anglo-saxon because it was the anglo-saxons who settled in lowland scotland and from there moved to Nothern Ireland (Ulster) during the plantations and are also protestants same as the English so am just confused why they were anti-English aswell as anti-catholic.

A. I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for. The quarry in this article is not AT Stonehenge, but it is the quarry from which some of the stones for Stonehenge came. And this has nothing to do with Anglo-Saxon times either. But here it is anyway. The source is: - "Timothy Darvil, professor of archaeology at Bournemouth University, says that the key to understanding Stonehenge lies in the Preseli Mountains in western Wales. There he and colleague Geoffrey Wainwright located the quarry where the bluestones forming Stonehenge's inner circle were cut around 2500 B.C. Weighing about 4 tons and standing between 6 and 9 feet tall, the blue-grey stones had to be transported 240 miles to the Stonehenge site in Wiltshire, England.… [cont.]

Why did the Anglo Saxons leave Germany for England?
Q. I'm familiar with the history: Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Frisians and Franks defeating the native Britons and settling themselves in the land that would one day be England. But what exactly caused them to leave their homelands in the first place?
Asked by Laura T - Fri Dec 11 06:28:43 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. They left due to high population pressures and from fear of being attacked by other tribes such as the Huns, although the Huns didn't make it that far west in the end as they were halted in central France. They probably left also for similar reasons why people migrate today - a better life, like remember the colonisation of Canada, lots of English people went across there to settle down for a new life and own their own land, farms and etc, it was probably similar with the Anglo-Saxons (only difference is they didn't have posters advertising a "new life in England").

A. Alfred the Great is also known as the Lawmaker. He instituted many of the vigorous laws that later came to define his reign. It was said that "a virgin, carrying a sack of gold, could walk across his domain without being accosted". He basically began the tradition of kings mandating certain rules that were followed by his territory/kingdom. many of his rules are still in use today if you squint at modern law.

A. Alfred the Great is also known as the Lawmaker. He instituted many of the vigorous laws that later came to define his reign. It was said that "a virgin, carrying a sack of gold, could walk across his domain without being accosted". He basically began the tradition of kings mandating certain rules that were followed by his territory/kingdom. many of his rules are still in use today if you squint at modern law.

Where can I find information on the anglo-saxons?
Q. Where can I find good detailed information on the anglo-saxons? About a year ago I found out I was descended from these people and after studying some of their mythology and lore in a high school english class I've gotten more and more interested in them. Problem is being a somewhat nomadic people they didn't really leave a written account of their history and such. Any help is greatly appreciated...

A. Anglo-Saxons weren't nomadic. Their individual tribes on the mainland might have been, but they were the Angles and the Saxons then. Anglo-Saxon were the merging of the two tribes in England in the so-called Dark Ages. They were not nomadic. They were the rulers of England. Alfred the Great, for instance. Look at the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, written year-by-year by the monks of the time, detailing what happened each year. It goes from about 700 A.D. to 1200 A.D., though there are occasionally some gaps, during war or plague. It's actually quite interesting, telling of rulers, battles, and trade conditions of the time. If you're looking for further back than that, they were pretty much related to the Vikings, coming out of the same area.… [cont.]

Was Aethelred II's reign a complete disaster?
Q. Aethelred II's reign is often seen as a complete failure because of the success of Viking raids but he did manage to rule for a very long time so there must be mitigating factors? Could anyone who is knowledgeable on Anglo Saxon History please help me with this area of interest?

A. Not at all but if one lives long enough stuff catches up with you. Aethelred was dubbed The Unready by later Generations angry that he was forced into exile after three decades of struggle with the resurgent Vikings/Danes ... Aethelred was thrust onto the throne as a teenager and so his early reign was dominated by his Mother and other advisers,, when he attempted as a young adult to rule on his own he did put his trust in a poor set of advisers and this period (984-993) was marred by corruption and scandals, but then Aelthelred booted those counselors out, and England enjoyed a Golden Age from 994 to 1006 though the Vikings did continue their attacks. The sheer fact that Aethelred stayed on the throne for thirty eight years is… [cont.]
