The Old English period We have reached roughly the half-way mark of this module. In the earlier bits, we focused mainly on describing some of the changes that have occurred in the English language in terms of writing, pronunciation, lexis and grammar (the internal history of the language). It is possible to describe and account for change without making reference to the the speakers or the events that surround the speakers, but we feel that this will only provide only part of the picture. The rest of the module will take on a more sociolinguistic focus on the history of English (and refer more to the external history An American scholar, Salikoko Mufwene prefers to talk about the ecology of language evolution (that, in fact, is the title of his book, published by Cambridge University Press in 2001). The word ecology , normally used today in relation to biological studies is to do with the reciprocal relations between organisms and their environment. When we talk about language ecology or linguistic ecology , therefore, we mean that we need to consider language not as an abstraction, but language as a living entity spoken by real users with real needs, living in particular cultural, economic, social, religious and other contexts.

Saxon people From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Saxons The Saxon people or Saxons were a large and powerful Germanic people located in what is now northwestern Germany and a small section of the eastern Netherlands . It is important to note that the historic Saxons did not inhabit the modern German federal state called Saxony . They are first mentioned by the geographer Ptolemy as a people of southern Jutland and present-day Schleswig-Holstein , hence they appear subsequently to have expanded to the south and west. The word 'Saxon' derives from the word seax , meaning a variety of single-edged knife . The Saxons were considered by Charlemagne and other historians to be especially war-like and ferocious. Contents Continental Saxons Invasion of Britain Modern remnants of the Saxon name External links ... edit Continental Saxons A majority of the Saxons remained in continental Europe dwelling in a territory known as Old Saxony . The Anglo-Saxon historian Bede writing around the year remarks that "the old Saxons have no king, but they are governed by several eorldermen (satrapas) who during war cast lots for leadership, but who in time of peace are equal in power". However, the territory appears to have consolidated itself and by the end of the 8th century there was a political entity called the Duchy of Saxony The Saxons long avoided becoming Christians (see Ewald the Black ) and being incorporated into the orbit of the Frankish kingdom, but were decisively conquered by

Sunday, January 11, 2004, 02:12 GMT Most history books say they came from what is now Schleswig-Holstein and Jutland. But could they also have possibly come mainly from what is now Holland and Flanders? If you look at maps, it seems like Dutch speakers kind of live in a narrowing band that extends southwest from Holland even in the northernmost part of France. From there it's obviously a very short leap across the Strait of Dover into England. Obviously the English and Dutch languages are very similar, and the Frisian language of the northwestern Netherlands (once spoken as far south as Amsterdam) is thought to be English's estranged brother. Also, Dutch and Flemish placenames seem to look slightly more similar to English ones than those of Schleswig-Holstein and Denmark. Jordi Sunday, January 11, 2004, 06:55 GMT Andew: Have you thought if the Dutch and Frisians also came from futher inland? After all a lot of the land has been quite recently recovered from the sea.

Vikings in North America Anglo-Saxon England E-mail Author THE END OF ROMAN BRITAIN: ASSESSING THE ANGLO-SAXON INVASIONS OF THE FIFTH CENTURY BY WILLIAM BAKKEN NOVEMBER 16, 1994 Contents Introduction Primary Literary Sources Archaeology Place-Name Studies ... Bibliography Introduction The years between the collapse of the Roman government in Britain in the early years of the fifth century and the arrival of St Augustine at the end of the sixth were a period of significant change. During that time, the physical character of the people and their language and institutions were completely altered. A Germanic people replaced the Celtic British, or at least became a significant part of the population of lowland Britain. Germanic dialects replaced Latin or Celtic and loose knit and feuding hereditary kingships replaced the more centrally governed Roman provinces. Because this change took place while the Germanic immigrants were pagan and illiterate, the process was not well recorded. Traditionally, the first Germanic warband arrived in Britain in the mid fifth century to serve as mercenary troops at the invitation of the British sub-Roman government. When the government failed in their agreement to supply them, these troops revolted. This revolt touched a significant part of the country. Then, the first settlers invited their relatives from overseas to join them. At the beginning of the sixth century, the Germanic peoples rapid spread through the country was checked for a time by the British, but by the mid sixth century they started to expand again. By the time of Augustine's arrival, they controlled much of the lowlands and were expanding to the north and west.

Anglo-Saxon England England before the Germanic migration Back to the Syllabus Before the Germanic invasions Celts - Prior to the Germanic invasions Britain was inhabited by various Celtic tribes who were united by common speech, customs, and religion. Each tribe was headed by a king and was divided by class into Druids (priests), warrior nobles, and commoners. The lack of political unity made them vulnerable to their enemies. During the first century, Britain was conquered and subjugated by Rome. During the next three hundred years, Rome legions provided the politically discordant Britons the protection necessary to secure the country from attack. Migration of the Germanic speaking people Although there were many different Germanic tribes migrating to England, several stood out from among the others, such as the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Frisians, and Franks. (Anglo-Saxon map) The Angles migrated from Denmark and the Saxons from northern Germany. There is some debate as to the exact origin of the Jutes, since linguistic evidence suggests that they came from the Jutland peninsula, while archaeological evidence suggests an origin from one of the northern Frankish realms near the mouth of the Rhine river. The Frisians and Franks migrated mainly from the low countries and north-western Germany. During the sixth and seventh centuries these Germanic invaders started to carve out kingdoms, fighting both the native Britons and each other for land. First called Saxons, the German invaders were later referred to as Angles, and in the year 601ce the pope referred to Aethelbert of Kent as

Ungovernable, entirely at home at sea, they attack unexpectedly. When they are ready to sail home they drown or crucify one in ten of their victims as a sacrifice, "distributing the iniquity of death by the equity of lot".' Sidonius Appollinaris, landowner, poet and later bishop, writing about Saxon raiders in 470 AD (from The Anglo-Saxons by James Campbell) 'Anglo-Saxon' is used as a catch-all phrase to refer to the Germanic peoples who invaded and settled in England in large numbers during the fifth and sixth centuries AD. As well as the Angles (who came from the southern part of the Danish peninsula and eventually gave their name to England) and the Saxons (who came from the north German plain to the west), there were also Jutes From raiders to invaders The Romans used the term 'Saxon' to refer to all of the various tribes who inhabited the north German plain between the Elbe and the Weser and the south of what is now Denmark. These peoples had been raiding the coasts of eastern and southern Britain and northern Europe as far west as Spain since the third century AD. By the end of the fourth century, together with the Picts (from Scotland) and the Scots (from Ireland), they were menacing the frontiers of Roman Britain from all sides. The collapse of Roman authority in Britain in the early fifth century left the native Britons exposed to these enemies. Over the coming centuries, the raiders became invaders and settlers, conquering and transforming the country as they came.

In Britain, somehow Romanised life managed to survive, but forever sinking into decay. The visits of St Germanus, an important bishop of Auxerre in Gaul in 427 and 440 to settle a question of heresy and incidentally to lead the troops against the Saxons, is an indication that Roman Britain was still recognised to be important and active enough to engage in religious controversy. But life must have been very different from the Romanised living of the 4th Century. Archaeological evidence for the 5th Century without coinage to give a chronology, is very difficult to interpret.

Boards Great Britain Introduction Planning a Trip Hotels ... Index Early History From Murky Beginnings to the Roman Occupation Britain was probably split off from the continent of Europe some 8 millennia ago by continental drift and other natural forces. The early inhabitants, the Iberians, were later to be identified with stories of fairies, brownies, and "little people." These are the people whose ingenuity and enterprise are believed to have created Stonehenge, but despite that great and mysterious monument, little is known about them. They were replaced by the iron-wielding Celts, whose massive invasions around 500 B.C. drove the Iberians back to the Scottish Highlands and Welsh mountains, where some of their descendants still live today. In 54 B.C. Julius Caesar invaded England, but the Romans did not become established here until A.D. 43. They went as far as Caledonia (now Scotland), where they gave up, leaving that land to "the painted ones," or the warring Picts. The wall built by Emperor Hadrian across the north of England marked the northernmost reaches of the Roman Empire. During almost four centuries of occupation, the Romans built roads, villas, towns, walls, and fortresses; they farmed the land and introduced first their pagan religions then Christianity. Agriculture and trade flourished. In Wales the Romans built roads to outlying fortresses at Carmarthen, Llandovery, and other sites, but they stuck to the lowlands and did not set out to subdue the natives of this wild country who took to the hills and mountains. Some of the hill forts established by the Iron Age Celts were still the homes of their descendants, and some of these were very near Roman forts. Remains of many of the hill forts may be seen today.

Capelli et al.: A Y Chromosome Census of the British Isles, Current Biology, vol. 13, 979-984, 27 May 2003. Capelli et al. took DNA samples from men in 25 small towns around the British Isles, excluding men whose paternal grandfathers were born more than 20 miles away. For comparison they also took samples from Norway, Denmark, North Germany (Schleswig-Holstein), Friesland (Netherlands), and the Basque region of Spain. Using comparison of Y chromosome haplotypes, the Danish, North German and Frisian samples are all closely similar to each other, but the Norwegian sample is significantly different from these, and the Basque sample is widely different. Most of this is unsurprising, but there are two more controversial conclusions. not have the strongest German/Danish element. The main lines of evidence are as follows: Written sources: the main sources - Gildas, Bede, and the Anglo- Saxon Chronicle - make it clear that invaders from the Continent took political control of what is now England, and that in many places there was violent conflict between the invaders and native forces. But there are no reliable written sources on the numbers and proportions of different groups. Language: the Old English or Anglo-Saxon language, in its various forms, is purely Germanic in its grammar and vocabulary, with no discernible Celtic element. If the Celts learned English, they learned it very thoroughly. The later Danish settlements strongly influenced the form of Old English spoken in eastern England, but did not replace it.

Michael points out that much has been written about the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes, but almost nothing about the Frisians. Yet Frisian is still spoken in the province of Friesland in the Netherlands and is the Germanic language most closely resembling modern English. Michael asks why the Frisians have been omitted from the historical record and whether a great injustice has been done. Making History consulted Dark Ages historian Dr Sam Newton.

Anglo-Saxon Origins: The Reality of the Myth Malcolm Todd Malcolm Todd is Professor of Archaeology at the University of Exeter. Idealised British warrior of the migration period. . The English have been studied by someone who originated in central Europe, first saw England at the age of seventeen, and stayed on to occupy the Regius Chair of History at Cambridge. Geoffrey Elton's view of the English was bound to be highly individual . The trouble is that anybody's view will be so. I'd better admit that mine is that of a native Northumbrian, who sees Sheffield and Manchester as midland cities, and everything south of the Thames as an alien culture.I must begin with another native Northumbrian, probably the greatest. The most effective definer of the early English was Bede. It was he who first presented the English as a culturally unified people living under a number of regional kings Beowulf but also able to deal with the technical requirements of government and law, and before long the writing of history. The rapid growth of Anglo-Saxon into an expressive language, capable of great subtlety and blunt power, is one of the central facts of early English history. Concealed here is an immense scholarly achievement, for the language was not developed by unlettered people. But we know little about the scholars and writers who were responsible. The legend (or was it myth ?) of Caedmon is their epitaph.
