A. Call a classmate and ask to see their notes. The information that you get from the web may not be the same info that your teacher taught in class. Do you have a text book that you can read about in? If you are not able to get the information then you should have your parent call the teacher. The test is supposed to show what you have learned. If the teacher did not teach this to you then how can you have learned it?

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.

A. Question A: No. The Anglo-Saxons were the decendents of the three tribes of Germanic immigrants (the Jutes, the Angles, and the Saxons) to the island of Britain in the 5th century. The "Anglii" were first mentioned by name by the Roman historian Tacitus in his book "Germania" written in AD 98.

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.

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. Beowulf is set before the Angle/Saxon migration to England got underway. It is the oldest known work in 'English', but the Angles/Saxons brought both their language and the poem with them. It's fairer to say that Vikings are a subset of Danes and Norwegians (and Swedes) rather than vice-versa. The origin of the word 'Viking' is still disputed. Vikings did not exist as a distinct ethnic group - the term 'Viking' (and 'Northman') was applied to any Scandinavian who came raiding South and Vikings only accounted for a small proportion of the Scandinavian community.

A. One of the Saxon kings did infiltrate far into Cornwall (around St Buryan's). I believe the saxons were more or less pushed back later or decided it wasn't worth their while. It might have been claimed for England but remained culturally celtic and retained its own language till relatively recent times.The entire West of England,although there was some saxon migration, remained definitely more 'native' than the east, with the men of Dorset building a huge earthen bank,the Bockling Dyke, that kept the saxons out for nearly 200 years after their arrival in England.Dorset and Devon both have kept their celtic names,Dorset is from the Durotriges tribe and Devon is from the tribe called the Dumnonii.

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.
