Anglo Saxons

Why were the Anglo Saxons so consistently defeated in battle by the Danes/Vikings and Normans?

Was their militia system inferior?

You must be those trolls that Veeky Forums is famous for.

This is what it feels like to post in a troll thread.

Weird.

That doesn't make up for all the battles they won against the Anglo-Saxons, the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms they conquered, or Danelaw.

Anglo-Saxons had the most sophisticated tax system in Western Europe

All for the purpose of paying vikings to leave them alone

More Anglo-Saxon coins have been found in Denmark than England

Vikings are estimated to have brought home more than 100 tonnes of silver from England.

It's pretty funny that you think that considering that we are typing this in English right now.

Saxons lost against the vikings because they never united properly.

Wrong.

>Saxons lost against the vikings
England is still England, not Daneland.
