Home Discussion Boards Join Refer Page to a Friend ... Haligwaerstow History of Anglo-Saxon Heathenry The word Heathen comes from Old English hæðen, a word whose origin has been stated by scholars as being a native word related to Greek ethnos , or a gloss for Latin pagan "rural dweller" meaning "dweller on the heath." Regardless of its origin, it is the preferred term when speaking of the ancient pagan religion of the Saxons, Jutes, Angles, Frisians, Varni, and other Germanic invaders of what is now England. Together, these tribes once in England are known as the Anglo-Saxons, although no such unity was known until well after their conversion. The first mention of a Germanic tribe is crica 230 BCE when the Basternae migrated to the Black Sea, and came to the attention of Greek chroniclers. From 230 BCE, the Germanic tribes would come in increasing conflict with the Celts, Illyrians, and Romans, eventually swallowing up most of the Celtic and Illyrian territories in Central Europe. This was the beginnings of the Migration Era which lasted from about 375 BCE to 550 CE (although the Viking expeditions should be counted as a part of this as well), an era when nearly every Germanic tribe was actively on the move. Over population and a need for new farm lands sent the Germanic tribes in search of new lands. The invasion of Great Britain by the Angles, Jutes, Saxons, Frisians, and other Germanic tribes were amongst the last of the Great Migration. In the fifth century, an exodus of tribes took place to Great Britain. The Angles invaded Britain from the area of Schleswig-Holstein, and are mentioned by Tacitus in his writing

English in Great Britain When the Roman legions left Britain, the native Britons were left to defend themselves. At this time, the Britons were less warlike than they had been prior to the Roman occupation. The Britons were exposed to the threat of attack from the Picts of caledonia to the north. The Roman patrolling of Hadrian's Wall had ceased. The southern and eastern coasts were also exposed since no Roman fleet patrolled the Channel and the North Sea. The Picts and Scots of Caledonia attacked the northern border. The Britons requested help from the Jutes, a Germanic tribe, to push the Picts and the Scots back. In return for their help, the Jutes were given the Isle of Thanet off the north-east coast of Kent. The English Conquest In 449 A.D., the Jutes, led by two brothers, Hengist and Horsa, landed at Ebbsfleet, off the coast of Kent. Not content with the Isle of Thanet, the Jutes spread all over Kent. The Britons defended the territory fiercely. The Jutish leader, Horsa, was killed at the Battle of Aylesford, but the Britons were eventually forced to draw back. Other Germanic tribes, the Saxons and the Angles, followed the Jutes.

20. Alfred The Great, King Of The West Saxons When the Gospel was first preached in britain, the island was inhabited by Celtic In the 500 s, pagan Germanic tribes, the angles, saxons, and jutes, http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bio/60.html

When the Gospel was first preached in Britain, the island was inhabited by Celtic peoples. In the 500's, pagan Germanic tribes, the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, invaded Britain and drove the Christian Celts out of what is now England into Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. The new arrivals (called collectively the Anglo-Saxons) were then converted by Celtic missionaries moving in from the one side and Roman missionaries moving in from the other. (They then sent missionaries of their own, such as Boniface , to their pagan relatives on the Continent.) In the 800's the cycle partly repeated itself, as the Christian Anglo-Saxons were invaded by the Danes, pagan raiders, who rapidly conquered the northeast portion of England. They seemed about to conquer the entire country and eliminate all resistance when they were turned back by Alfred, King of the West Saxons. In his later years, having secured a large degree of military security for his people, Alfred devoted his energies to repairing the damage that war had done to the cultural life of his people. He translated Boethius Consolations of Philosophy into Old English, and brought in scholars from Wales and the Continent with whose help various writings of
