Anglo Saxon

Thanks to the Anglo-Saxon scholar, Alcuin the Franks received a great deal of knowledge and progressive ideology. He even introduced the idea of nicknames/by-names to the Carolingian court. He gave them based on traits that the people best embodied. His student, Hraban - meaning Raven - probably would have just been Corvus - also Raven, but in Latin. Instead, he gave him the nickname "Maurus". Maurus is a Christian saint and devoted student to St. Benedict. Alcuin wanted to illicit that feeling in his student. Alcuin gave many names to Charlemagne, but David seemed to best stick: as in King David from the Old Testament. It's really nifty to read about. Such a popular thing in Angle and Saxon communities in Britannia almost never made it across the channel.

No room in the bottom right because of East Anglia's portrait??

No they don't.

...

yes they do

The orignial helmet has anatomically dished cheekplates, hinged at the top, and had both a lining of sheepskin as well as points for a leather closure.

Don't let shitty repros with cheap, undished plates fool you.

Anglo-Norman master race

It was never used in battle

>"Anglo-norman"
Lol

Well It's certainly not Anglo master race nigel

right, because the horns would make it easy to grab or something? tell us more dr broscience

>it's pretty so it was never used

Going to need a citation on that please. I doubt there is enough of the actual helmet left to make such a claim either way.

Was it worth it?

Yes

>Hetalia

It's famous because of its preservation. See

>ywn have a retinue of hearthguards who will fight to the death to protect you and your banner in exchange for eating at your table and recieve gifts and money
why even live

You know only the scattered, fragmented sections of that photo are the actual helmet parts they found, right? The matte brown sections are what the suspect was also there and to help display the fragments.

WHEN THE "NORMAN" FRENCH CAME OVER THEY ENSLAVED THE TRUE ENGLISHMEN. FROM 1066 ONWARDS THE RULERS AND ARISTOCRACY OF THIS LAND HAVEN'T BEEN ENGLISH. THE ENGLISH ARE GONE ALONG WITH THEIR TRUE LANGUAGE, CULTURE, LAWS AND HISTORY. THE "ENGLISH" THAT INAHBIT THIS LAND NOW ARE WITES, ZOMBIES SPEAKING A BASTARDIZED VERSION OF THEIR LANGUAGE SERVING A CLASS OF PEOPLE DESCENDED FROM INVADERS.

Shut up nigel. You're descended from them too

Does being muscle for jewish bankers count as an anglo saxon thing?

>not full tang
Into the trash it goes

Fucking meme tier bullshit aimed at idiots buying shitty knives and abusing the fuck out of them. Most knives throughout history were whittle tang or half tang, and worked just fine.

Not for batony-chop-chop. Not for use as an ice pick.

What was the difference between the Saxon invasions/settlement and Viking invasions/settlement?

A few centuries.

The Anglo-Saxons came as Foederati under the service of the Romano-British aristocracy, they were specifically tasked with fighting the Picts and Irish who were raiding Britain. The Norse came to Britain as raiders and invaders while its likely that that Anglo-Saxons usurped the Romano-British estates or that the Romano-British people adopted and intermingled with the Anglo-Saxons.

The Anglo-Saxons stayed pagans longer and converted areas of England as well unlike the Norsemen who adopted Christianity fairly quickly once Danelaw was established. This could be because at the time of the Anglo-Saxon migration Christianity did not have as strong a foothold in Britain as it did during the Viking Age.

i mean yeah i know that.

just seems like there's really not much different between a 6th century saxon and a 9th century dane

Are the Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms the way they are because of some geographical characteristics of England or are they just Late Roman provinces ruled by G*rmanic scum?

>The Anglo-Saxons came as Foederati under the service of the Romano-British aristocracy

I see. So the saxon, jutes, and angles sail on over, the britons say, hey those guys are tough why don't we employ them to bully the picts and scots and other britons, and eventually the anglo-saxons took over.

>The Anglo-Saxons stayed pagans longer

That's true, I know Ireland and Frankia were already christian since the 300s or 400s.

So in the early days of the Anglo-Saxon migrations, was there much of a difference between all the little britonic kingdoms? like say the ones in wales vs the ones in the midlands?

Some were angles, some were jutes, and some were saxons. They all at first started in the south east and eventually spread out from there.
