Introduction

Welcome to my blog about Anglo Saxon history and culture. I suppose my main reason for creating this blog was because, while looking on the net one day for web sites about the Anglo Saxon migration to Britain, all I seemed to find were links to sites about the Anglo Saxons supposedly being one of the Lost Tribes of Israel, or some such nonsense. These 'fringe' sites seemed to dominate discussion about Anglo Saxon migrations which, I felt, was rather dissappointing. (I definately do not subscribe to any of those 'Saxon-Lost Tribes-Secret history-conspiracy theory' ideas).

I thought it would be very useful to create a place where people could go to get some detailed, archaeologically based information about Anglo Saxon migrations and, by extension, Anglo Saxon culture, language, art etc etc.

Yes, I myself am of Anglo Saxon descent, with a fair bit of Celtic thrown in as well. I am interested in my heritage because for a long time it seemed so distant and almost foreign to me. I really wanted to know something about my ancestors, and of course try to understand more about myself in the process.

I have no grand-plan for this blog at all, it will just develop and evolve as it will. Hope it will be of interest to you.
