HIS120 - The OE Period

This E-Lecture discusses the period of Old English with its main phases: from the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons, via the constant invasions of the Vikings up to a detailed account of what happend in 1066. Thus, the E-Lecture is more or less socio-culturally oriented, rather than linguistic. It is meant as a general overview of the most important facts and figures of the Old English era.

What about the language spoken on the Isle of Man? (Manx language?) I thought it is Celtic as well. Other than that, I like your videos very much.

[@MrMonkeyhanger]

Is Manx not a modern celtic language or does it get grouped in with one of the others? Excellent videos by the way...

[@wallacepearse8322]

Manx is closely related to Scottish and Irish Gaelic.

Is this information also available in printed form? Or can you recommend a publication that deals with the consquences of the norman conquest on the English language?

Nice lecture. May I draw your attention to the Cornish and Breton flags,the Cornish a white cross on black (the cross of St Piran) and the Breton ermine(I think) in the canton of a black and white stripey field. Some folks get touchy about such things... ho hum

[@stevenwilliams24]

They can ... they might get touchy also that you call the language of the Kingdom of Kernow Cornish. The language is of course Kernowic.

[@valereepanina7414]

where can I press LIKE IT-button at least a hundred times?!

[@LandgraabIV]

Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, Irish, Breton, Cornish.. :) I'm currently learning Welsh.

[@MultiSciGeek]

thank you

[@astghiksebastiani1732]

4:22 it refers to Breton, and that's not a "continental celtic language"! Continental celtic languages are all extinct. Breton has been brought to France by migrants who came from Britain, it's then an "insular celtic language.

[@philsaspiezone]

Breton is a Brythonic (Cymric) language like Welsh and Cornish

[@tallthinwavy3]

Bede is pronounced exactly as ,"bead"

[@oer-vlc]

... only in PDE, not in OE

[@stevenwilliams24]

The Scots came from Ireland! No, they certainly did not!

[@MrMonkeyhanger]

Scotti was the roman name for the irish raiders who settled western scotland, so afraid you kinda did...

[@RichardDarn1]

Actually there the Scotti arrived only a few years before the first of the Angles in Lothian.
