The great Anglo-Saxons

Anglo-Saxon god Woden


Anglo-Saxons crossed the North sea. They intrepidly invaded Britain because they wanted better land. They settled in the southern part of the island. They called it Angle-land, which evolved in to England. The  Angles, who were pagans gave us the English language. The king of their gods was named Woden, and  that is where we get the English word Wednesday. In 598, a monk named Augustine came to England. He  preached tenaciously to the Anglo-Saxons, and
most of them converted to Christianity. The Anglo-Saxons ruled England proudly until 1066.
