The Anglo-Saxons - History, Culture and Archaeology

[@morbvsclz]

In German we still use the phrase "angelsächsisch" (anglo-saxon) to refer to the Englishspeaking world as a whole. So we'd say "im angelsächsischen Raum", (literally transl. in the anglo-saxon area) when we for example want to refer to differences between the English and German languages, or differences in scientific literature published in the 2 languages, differences in laws and jurisdiction etc. Quite strange, given that this term refers to the UK, US, Canada, Australia and so on, all at the same time and it's probably safe to say that there are quite a few differences between those countries as well, so to just sum them all up under the single term "angelsächsisch" seems fairly simplistic.

[@anglishbookcraft1516]

Raum would mean “room” in English, in the sense of realm.

[@justinnamuco9096]

So much history in one word.

[@TeriB]

I had my dna done and found out that I have the Anglo Saxon bloodline, Donegal Ireland bloodline (east/west/South), and Estonian/Latvian bloodline. Thank you for making this video that explains some history of the Anglo Saxons.

[@ofailia650]

about the wood buildings: timber is a very good building material and in cooler, rainier regions there is no lack of woods and less of a fire hazard. most forests in the mediterranean died as they were cut down to make ships and such. further north there was more forest to go around and it regenerates more quickly. also old stone buildings are a pain in the ass to heat in cold winters. so the return to wood may have been for very practical reasons - few old northern european buildings were completely made of stone even later on, except things like churches or defensive buildings like castles or city walls. or defensible churches, which also existed. fun fact: apparently, early archaeologists used to think european peoples outside of the roman empire had no larger settlements, because they couldn't find any. this was because all the buildings were made of wood that rotted away, very hard to detect without modern methods such as magnetic scans of the ground.

[@jaredgrey39]

You are correct that the Romans preferred to build with stone, but did you know of the wooden fort in Coventry? It's called the Lunt Roman Fort, it is now a museum and only a bit remains of the former size. I think they should reconstruct the rest of the former fort, to preserve the remnants in the ground they could simply build outside the foundation. I have never visited but I know there is at least one roofed building, it might be the granary (for storing grains through the winter.) According to the research all of roofed buildings inside the fort walls were wooden.

[@justinnamuco9096]

Wooden structures are warmer in winter than stone structures? Sorry, idk im from a tropical country. I thought people in the past disliked stone structures here because it would have been too hot inside, so i thought europeans chose stone because it probably warms them

[@justinnamuco9096]

Mediterranean buildings were wooden til rome grew enough and did the conquerings. Rome probably did wooden dwellings too til they copied the greeks, which copied egyptians or semites who had i suppose much less wood for construction

[@sargon08732]

I am Asian, and I admire that Anglo-Saxon have more contributions to human civilization than others, they can change the worst place into the best place, look Australia, Canada, US and new Zealand, but thank you for this video

I wouldn't say those places were 'the worst', i would say they just had very different and arguably more primitive societal structures.

[@shmittyworman]

I have to Disagree. The Anglos killed the Pictish people of Native Scotland's Kings and took over as much as they could. They were turn coats to their British cousins. The conglomerant descendants of the U.K who went and colonized the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zeland did everything they could to decimate the Indigenous populations, suck off the resources, deface culturally significant places to said indigenous and polute the land with toxins. The greatness comes from the corruptions of corporations an a supply and demand consumerism mentality.

[@scholagladiatoria]

Good stuff, nice video. The only thing I would have added is that the main debate surrounding the migration era in Britain is how many Germanic people actually migrated: Whether the material and linguistic changes were more the result of cultural changes rather than actual population change. Good overview though.

[@metatronyt]

+scholagladiatoria Thank you Matt, it's always an honour to hear from you :) Yes that would be a very interesting topic to cover, and also I will soon have a video dedicated to the Britons where I discuss about post-ice age continual ethnicity as opposed to the idea of invading Celts during the Iron age which one of my subscribers has kindly reminded me of ^^ For the point you bring up yes I would probably think they didn't have to be that many to strongly influence the natives with their culture, the Romans weren't that many compared to the locals and yet their influence was profound.

[@akatsukami9578]

+Metatron : Although it is worth noting that there is no evidence of a British Romance language. The Romans seen to have had less influence in Britain than in Spain, Gaul, or even Dacia.

[@metatronyt]

Akatsukami I have never said English is a Romance language, I have said that Latin was spoken (meaning as a second language, some people problably were even bilingual) in Britain due to the Romans being there and Latin had some efects on English. As you can see Latin makes 7,5% of English vocabulary, and French (through the Normans) composes another 30%, that's a lot, not enough to make it a Romance language but 37% of your vocabulary being linked to Romance languages is a big chunk.

[@akatsukami9578]

+Metatron : I didn't mean to imply that you had called English a Romance language and I apologize for writing unclearly. What I was trying to say is that on the Continent Latin, and subsequently Romance languages, were spread almost everywhere that there wasn't already a well-established language of older culture (Greek, Aramaic, etc.) Even in regions where Romance was swamped by other languages, such as North Africa or the Danube valley, we have evidence that there _was_ a Romance language. In Britain it almost seems that everyone who spoke Latin decamped with Constantine III; all the relict languages are P-Celtic.

[@metatronyt]

Akatsukami I think that's due to the Anglo-Saxons and their influence, if the Roman Empire haden't collapsed and the Romans had remained there, English now would be a Romance language for sure, and it would be very similar to Italian, Spanish etc. and I would say the name would have been something on the lines of "Britannico" Although this is all speculative of course ;)

[@brianfuller7691]

Outstanding video and well presented. I'm amazed at how little knowledge of this important pre-Norman age many modern British have.

[@talkingblades8227]

It seems the Anglo Saxons were essentially an earlier version of the Vikings - who became Christianized. At least that's how i think of them. I'm curious to know how similar the Saxon ships were to the later Viking longship.

You technically arent wrong, but its important to note, that the anglo-saxon settlements accross the island outside of mercia amd wessex control were often involved with many danes and spoke the same language, interpreters werent necessary for communication at all, the dialects were that similar prior to norman invasion

[@liamdoyle5363]

Could you do a video about the Celts, and their Empire throughout Europe before Rome and even during the Roman Empire?

[@jordantoms4367]

There was no "Celtic empire", rather the Celts were a collection of seperate tribes throughout Western Europe that shared similar languages and culture. Even the Britons had many different tribes at the time of Roman conquest.

[@Fiddling_while_Rome_burns]

+Baya The Celts were an invention of the Victorians, there were no common cultures in western Europe, for example a similar burial practice may have been common an area, but the architecture, languages and so on would all be different.

[@jordantoms4367]

+jaocheu No common culture? The druids were found throughout Britainnia and Gaul. The 'celts' as an idea of one people is an invention, yes.. as I clearly said they were no empire. But similarities of these tribal groups fall into one unbrella, much like how people group Scandinavians as vikings or the Germanic people's. It's an umbrella term used to destinguish very real attributes to these people that make them different from Latin or Hellenistic groups.

[@Fiddling_while_Rome_burns]

Baya I'm afraid the umbrella theory doesn't work. You find some Gallic and some German speaking people having cultural similarities, uniquely different from other Gallic and German speakers.

[@jordantoms4367]

+jaocheu Please give some evidence before making generalised statements. I could say the same similarities can be found in Rome and Athens, but the history and context are all different. Many religious and traditional values were taken by the Romans from the Greeks, but does that make the Romans Greek because they renamed their gods and implemented similar architecture? ..which, by the way the Greeks adapted theirs from the Minoans, which were influenced by the Egyptians which were influenced the other civilizations in the region before that. The problem with making a general statement like you do, is that you can pretty much say that about anything. Both Celtic and Roman people had bronze technology.. This was in large part to do with trade. Groups in Europe traded and many technologies in warfare and architecture made their way across Europe. The same goes for art and culture being transferred between these different groups of people. Celtic traditions such as Druidry have their routes from Indo-European settlers.. They established themselves in Europe around 6,500 years ago. Also, the Celtic language family (a language family being an "umbrella" like that of the Germanic language family that includes English), can be found even spoken today in places such as Northern Spain, France and the British Isles. There are similarities shared among these people culturally, that identifies them and separates them from other groups in Europe.

Great video a feast for the eyes and mind, just a quick question, did they bury warriors with their horses, like Longbeards(or Winnili if you prefer) or other poulations?

[@historywithhilbert]

+Marco Gasparini Hope you don't mind if I answer. The Anglo-Saxon burials were very like Viking burials because their religions came from the same root. Now if you think about it, on the continent in Northern Europe the tribes traded and lived very similar lifestyle to each other. If you lined up an Angle, a Dane and a Frisian in 400 AD it would be ny impossible to tell them apart in both appearance, language and manner. So when these Germanic people started crossing the North Sea and settling in Britain in the 5th century, they would have been pretty much identical to the ancestors of the Vikings. But because the missionaries from Ireland and Rome converted the Anglo-Saxons almost a hundred years after they came, their whole culture and belief, even language that had been so similar to the one used by the ancestors of the Vikings, changed. So when the first Norsemen set foot on the sands of Lindisfarne in AD. 793, they were now very different to their once close cousins :)

[@joschafinger126]

+Metatron : I love your videos, and this one's really good. But the population replacement theory has taken quite a pounding -abundant genetic evidence for Celtic continuity, scarcity of archaeological evidence for invasion, and indications of prolonged peaceful coexistence of Germanic tribespeople and Romanised Celts tell a story that's quite different from Hengist and Horsa (or the conflict their myth symbolises. I think it was rather a story of Germanic auxiliares having their families come over and exerting a growing cultural influence -at least in many areas of South and East England, expanding out from there. More so once the Romans left. And once they did, unpaid leftover auxiliares would be a likely group to replace the elite. I mean, there definitely were raids, old Britannia did ask for help. But when help against the pirates didn't materialise, those who had come as auxiliares and their sons, defending the land, could very quickly have become a ruling warrior class. My thoughts based on documentaries and a bit of reading, not much more. But still...

And I know that the carolingian sword also called the Viking sword was commonly used by both the franks, Anglo saxons, Scandinavians and more but would the Vikings and the franks, specifically the east franks (germans) have used similar axes as well like the mammen axe for instance.

Recently they did a genitic survey of great Britain and they found that the actual vast majority of males ( high 80s%) still had a Celtic bloodline the actual Germanic bloodline was very small , leading it to be thought the Saxons mainly just co-opted the rule of the land more so than settled it on mass , Being the rulers they like the Romans before them transposed their customs over the top of the allready existing systems of the indiginous poppulus .When a country is left without an effective defensive army all you need is a not particularly large army yourself to take it .

[@martinan22]

+woofalot13 These genetic studies say different things depending on who makes them. One should be a little suspicious of studies that end up very close to the ruling paradigm.

[@woofalot13]

Martin Andersson You have a point about sceptisim but the study i mentioned kind of go's against the ruling paradigm in England as the English see themselves firmly as Anglo Saxon and it realy does fit all the rest of the evidence . Britain was left without a warrior class after the Romans left all you needed was a few ships of warriors and you own it . No huge migration . Just exactly as the Norse did across the channel around the same time in soon to be Normandy . Ofcourse they brought wives and famillies but the genetics don't show a huge migration in the largest and most extensive study ever made in the UK . (study late 90's documentary made about it might be ,Meet the ancestors ,but not sure now :) or a spin off ,made by world leading archeologist for what that is worth ?

+woofalot13 It goes against popular perception. However, it closely follows academic dogma of the last decades."Genetic study says" sounds final. But genetics are tricky and multilayered.

Curious linguistical thing I stumbled across recently, in "Canturbury Tales" Chaucer writes England as "Engelond". Engel, as seen in your video, is Old English for angel (nom & acc singular). Interestingly, there is a (musical) woodwind instrument invented in Germany (or maybe Poland, or the Czech Republic... It's from Silesia actually, which ended up split between the three countries) that looks kind of like the trumpet/horn used by angels in illuminations, and so they called it engellisches Horn (angelic horn). Engellisch also meant English in the vernaciular of the time. Hence the instrument is now most commonly known as the corno inglese, cor anglais, or English horn. Maybe there is a link between the terms England/English and the angel/angelic. After all, Yorkshire is known as "God's own country".
