Early Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms

In this lecture the Professor looks at the political changes and developments in Britain during the Post Roman and Pre Viking Era 500-750 A.D or C.E. This period has been typically called controversially ''The Dark Ages'' but now tends to be referred to as the Early Middle Ages. Revolving around the early development of the Anglo Saxon Kingdoms of Britain. The Heptarchy is the primary focus of this lecture and so it will give a brief overview of Medieval Northumbria, Mercia, East Anglia, Essex, Kent, Sussex and Wessex.

The further you get away from an event the iess relevancy it seems UK have. 70 odd years after WW2 it is difficult for some young people to comprehend the changes this war caused to occur.

[@renek243]

The name Belgium has nothing to do with the ancient Belgae, other than that the name was invented and introduced in the mid 19th century when the country was created out of the Spanish or Austrian Netherlands and in typical 19th century fashion they took a name that harked back to an ancient heroic past, like the "Batavian Republic", as the Netherlands were briefly called in Napoleonic times. Many of the ancient Belgic tribes were Germanic by the way.

Why wessex was the only kingdom Left unconquered ?

[@mrdarren1045]

Because it was the last one probably where the warriors and refugees ended up after being pushed back by the vikings. Plus being the last kingdom it is likely they put up one hell of a fight knowing if Wessex fell it was all over. A bit like Stalingrad.

[@jackwhitehead5233]

Technically the Western part of Mercia was unconquered too, but unfortunately there aren't many sources to help explain what actually happened. Aside from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, which is heavily skewed in favour of the House of Wessex. There was even a hoard discovered recently of coins bearing Alfred's head on one side and Aethelred of Mercia's on the other, suggesting a more equal standing between the rulers than history would have you believe.

excellent lecture

[@ThorirLenvik]

Thanks for the excellent glimpse into a very interesting part of European history of the western islands, (long after the submerging of what is alluded to, by the name 'Doggerland')... The late and post-roman period, the tribal migrations and the construction of some sort of rulership, (kingdom, despotate and protectorate of various sizes and residual tribal culture's traditions). The time before the "viking age", is a very little known, but probably very dynamic period. Especially before the ecclesiastical transition of the Roman empire into a pseudo-magical empire of that levantine God through the papacy of Rome and its Bishops, as Christianity gained power from the more popular "thing" based 'democracies' with chiefs and small armies and tribal traditions of people (being both artificers, peasants and warriors as required, and having a lifestyle according to necessity, like their ancestry from wherever their decent was) I'm not averse to study both the myths and folktales, as well as chronicles, sagas and other written sources. This should also be substantiated by archaeology and other sciences, if possible. Europe has a variety and diversity in the period, between the Romans and the formation of large ethnicity and geography determined national structures. I'm just some biologist, so excuse my rambling, off-topic to me..

rhythmstic: thank you for sharing your opinion. I would just note that you failed to cite a single solitary thing to support your opinion. I'm open to learning; my cursory online review, however, didn't turn up anything that supports your assertion.

These Anglo's do not go back to living as they were before the Roman Invasion, and that is the unrecognized tragedy!!

The world that existed pre claudian invasion, didn't exist any more! Then the power vacuums after the legions withdrew 410AD sucked in other userpers. In the end, the Welsh are the real British

Enjoyable, but the abject lack of knowledge from the students is particularly troubling. Of even the most basic facts of British history they are apparently ignorant.

Maybe some of them know but they're so dominated by imposter syndrome that they hide at the back.

@billysmith7686 It may have something to do with the fact that Bilkent is a 'Turkish' University

King Alfred did not fight the Vikings! He fought the Danes and defeated the Danes. His son and grandson re-conquered Danelaw not 'Vikinglaw'. The term Waelcyn (Viking) does not appear in the Anglo-Saxon chronicles until the early 10thC. It's use in any other time period is incorrect. Vikings appear to have been pirates and opportunists made up of many races - Byzantines, Irish, English, Norse, Danes and many others - they were not a race or tribe of any single people. Just because a term is popular or in common use does not make it correct.

[@mrdarren1045]

Stop being so pedantic. We all know what he means by the term vikings and how it is interchangeable with Danes. Why is it random KZbin posters feel this need to one up qualified professors who no doubt know a lot more about this period than they do. Being a medieval reenacter doesn't make you an academic.

[@chas5060]

@@mrdarren1045 Who is a mediaeval re-enactor? I do have a suitable Degree and have been studying this particular period for nearly 50 years. Pedantry would appear to be more of your speciality. If I wished to be pedantic I could pick a lot of holes in this lecture - especially with regard to the use of the word Wealas and the dismissal of leaders of the first arrivals as being unlikely as they were all Fathers and Sons and/or Brothers. Of course, that never happend in history in such a sustained manner. The history of Hannibal and his father and Brothers fighting the Romans is obviously dubious as are the Scipios and as for Edward III and his son at Crecy, not to mention Henry V and his Brothers at Azincourt - preposterous! Interestingly, listened to another lecture about that Italian guy Caesar, who invaded France and conquered it and in 55 and 54 BC invaded England and fought the English before retiring to France and having a few more battles aginst the French and Belgians. Not quite right, but we all know who I mean. Don't you?
