The anglo saxons context 2009 - 2010
The four main Germanic tribes that made up the Anglo-Saxons were the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and Frisians. Beginning in 449 AD, these tribes invaded Britain after the Romans withdrew troops, with the Angles settling in eastern England, Saxons in the south, and Jutes near London. The invading Anglo-Saxons forced many native Britons to retreat to Wales. Over several centuries, the Anglo-Saxons established control of England and their language and culture came to dominate the region.
Henry Hudson
Henry Hudson was hired in 1609 by a Dutch trading company to sail his ship the Half Moon with 20 crew members to find a northern trade route to Asia. After failing to find a passage, he explored the river that would later be named after him, becoming the first European to sail up the Hudson River. His voyage gave the Dutch claim to the region, leading them to settle the Hudson Valley in 1624 and contribute to the growth of what would become New York.
Alfred the great
Alfred the Great was King of Wessex from 871 to 899. He successfully defended Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of southern England against the Vikings, earning him the epithet "the Great". As king, he established a system of fortified centers called burhs across Wessex for defense. Culturally, he revived learning by establishing a school at his court and translating important works into Old English to improve education among clergy.

Beowulf
The document provides background information on the British invasions by Vikings in the 9th-10th centuries and discusses the Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf. Vikings from Norway, Scotland, Wales, and Denmark invaded and gained control of most of England by the mid-9th century before King Alfred the Great pushed back the Danes. By the late 10th century, the Danes had regained territory in England and forced the Saxons to select Danish kings until 1042. It then introduces Beowulf as an Old English heroic poem that reflects the dreams and fears of Anglo-Saxons, describing its unknown author, origins in the 6th century, and plot involving the Geatish hero Beowulf battling
Maria campolo
The document discusses the Anglo-Saxon invasion and settlement of England beginning in the 5th century AD. The Anglo-Saxons originated from Germany and Holland and quickly conquered much of England, establishing kingdoms throughout the island by the 7th century. One of their most important archaeological sites, Sutton Hoo in Suffolk, England, contains an undisturbed ship burial from the 6th-7th century filled with treasures like a crested helmet. The Anglo-Saxons organized into family groups called clans led by a lord, and were farmers and fishermen known for their courage, freedom, and sense of beauty.
Westminster abbey
Westminster Abbey was founded in the 10th century by Saint Dunstan and King Edgar. It was rebuilt in 1045-1050 by King Edward the Confessor as part of his palace. The Abbey was the site of the last coronation before the Norman conquest of England, that of King Harold II. In 1296, King Edward I commissioned King Edward's Chair to hold the Stone of Scone, which he had captured from the Scots. King Edward's Chair, also known as St. Edward's Chair or the Coronation Chair, is where British monarchs sit to be crowned and is kept in St. Edward's Chapel.
Alfred the Great
King Alfred of Wessex, known as "Alfred the Great", faced many challenges in the late 9th century defending his kingdom of Wessex from Viking invaders. He fought in important battles like Ashdown in 871 and ultimately defeated the Viking leader Guthrum at the Battle of Edington in 878. Alfred strengthened his military by building a navy of ships modeled after the Vikings and Romans. Through his military victories and treaties, he was able to expand Wessex and set the foundation for a unified England. However, Alfred's true strength was his wisdom and intelligence, which allowed him to overcome challenges like learning to read later in life and effectively governing his expanded kingdom.

The history of middle english
The Middle English period began after the Norman Conquest of 1066, when William the Conqueror invaded England. This brought many French words into the English language and made French the official language, though common people still spoke English. Over time, as English people fought against French rule in the Hundred Years' War, English reemerged as the dominant language in England once again.
The Normans in England
The Norman Conquest of England took place in 1066 when William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, led an army of French, Breton, and Norman soldiers across the English Channel and defeated the Anglo-Saxon King Harold at the Battle of Hastings on October 14th. This established William as the first Norman King of England and marked the end of Anglo-Saxon rule.
Anglo saxon period and poetry
The document provides background information on the Anglo-Saxon period in England from 449 to 1066 AD.

The document also describes how the Anglo-Saxons lived, their social structure and governance, the introduction of Christianity to England in 597 AD, and previews that the next topic will be a reading of the poem Beowulf itself.
Henry hudson
Henry Hudson was an English explorer who lived from 1565 to 1611 and made two journeys of exploration. He discovered present-day Hudson Bay, Hudson Strait, and Hudson River while exploring areas around New York City, as well as Greenland and Canada. However, he faced obstacles like icebergs and fights with his crew due to lack of food. His goal was to find a Northwest passage to Asia, but he ultimately died after being killed and set adrift by his own mutinous crew.
Old english power point
Old English developed as a language between 450-1150 AD during the Anglo-Saxon period of English history. The Germanic tribes of the Jutes, Angles, and Saxons invaded Britain and their language merged with the Celtic languages that were already spoken there to form Old English. Several important works of Old English literature were produced, most notably the epic poem Beowulf, which describes Germanic social conditions and ideals. Christianity was also introduced during this time which brought writing and literature to England.
The Scourge of Britannia – King Alfred’s Defense
Shaun Pour was born in 849 AD in Wessex, one of the remaining Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in England that had not been conquered by the Vikings. As he was not originally in line to inherit the throne, Shaun Pour took control of Wessex after the deaths of his brothers. He defeated the Vikings at the Battle of Edington in 878, forcing them to withdraw from Wessex and agree to terms of peace. This victory secured Shaun Pour's position as the ruler of a reunified Wessex and marked a turning point in the Viking invasion of England.

The Normans
William the Conqueror invaded England from Normandy in 1066 and defeated King Harold at the Battle of Hastings. The Bayeux Tapestry provides details of the Norman invasion and battle. William established himself as King of England but faced rebellions from Saxons in the north. He built the Tower of London and other castles to demonstrate his power and defend against enemies. Castles had thick walls, moats, and lookouts to protect those inside, who could store food and have access to water if under siege. Norman barons and knights who fought for William were given land and built their own castles with great halls and private family quarters.
Henry Hudson power point
Henry Hudson was a British explorer in the early 1600s who sought the Northwest Passage as a route from Europe to Asia. After four unsuccessful voyages for the British, Hudson sailed for the Dutch on his third voyage in 1609. He explored the river that now bears his name, the Hudson River, and overwintered in present-day Canada before his crew mutinied on his final voyage, leaving him stranded. Though he never found the Northwest Passage, Hudson's discoveries of the Hudson River Valley and areas in Canada were important contributions to geographical knowledge in the Age of Exploration.

Vikings by Simona Boccuzzi
Scandinavian invaders known as the Vikings attacked monasteries and villages near water in Britain, defeating nearly all of Saxon England except for Wessex. King Alfred of Wessex was the only Saxon ruler who resisted the Vikings militarily. He also contributed greatly to Saxon culture by encouraging education, scholarship, and the translation of Latin works into Old English. The last Anglo-Saxon king, Harold, was killed in the famous Battle of Hastings, leading to the Saxon conquest by the Normans.

The Norman Conquest of England
The Norman Conquest of England in 1066 marked the end of the Viking Age and led to the development of a centralized, feudal state under William the Conqueror. The Normans, who were descended from Vikings that settled in northern France, invaded and defeated the Anglo-Saxons led by King Harold at the Battle of Hastings. William became King of England and established a Norman rule that changed the English language and system of government.
