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.

Q. What is the relationship between the celts and anglo-saxons cultures? and What are the similarities and differences between these cultures?
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 As for the Anglo-saxons, known today as the english were originally made up of many different germanic tribes (majority were angleans and saxons) that came over from Denmark, and i believe some tribes came over from norway and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?
Asked by the khemist - Thu May 21 03:33:13 2009 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments
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.

Africa can't sustain itself, they can't grow enough crops because they lack cultivated land.
