Introduction I have written over 180 books. I think this is the best book that I have ever compiled. The Anglo-Saxons have been given an unfortunate bad opinion about their Race. Let's, begin with the truth. The Egyptians and Romans had Slaves before the Anglo-Saxons came into existence. The England Empire started in the Dark Ages. They were basically many Northern Tribes living in caves. They eventually evolved into the most Powerful and greatest Country on Earth (England). England was wise enough to adopt Christianity as their core Religionist belief of compassion, forgiveness and love. They had the opportunity to believe in Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism or any other Ideology. They chose Christianity because Jesus made more sense to them. The Anglo-Saxons fought many Wars between other ethnic groups. They conquered them and established Colonies around the World. Eventually, they ended Colonization and let other Races control their own destiny.

A sweeping and original history of the Anglo-Saxons by national bestselling author Marc Morris. Sixteen hundred years ago Britain left the Roman Empire and swiftly fell into ruin. Grand cities and luxurious villas were deserted and left to crumble, and civil society collapsed into chaos. Into this violent and unstable world came foreign invaders from across the sea, and established themselves as its new masters. The Anglo-Saxons traces the turbulent history of these people across the next six centuries. It explains how their earliest rulers fought relentlessly against each other for glory and supremacy, and then were almost destroyed by the onslaught of the vikings. It explores how they abandoned their old gods for Christianity, established hundreds of churches and created dazzlingly intricate works of art. It charts the revival of towns and trade, and the origins of a familiar landscape of shires, boroughs and bishoprics. It is a tale of famous figures like King Offa, Alfred the Great and Edward the Confessor, but also features a host of lesser known characters - ambitious queens, revolutionary saints, intolerant monks and grasping nobles. Through their remarkable careers we see how a new society, a new culture and a single unified nation came into being. Drawing on a vast range of original evidence - chronicles, letters, archaeology and artefacts - renowned historian Marc Morris illuminates a period of history that is only dimly understood, separates the truth from the legend, and tells the extraordinary story of how the foundations of England were laid.

ISBN: 9780521216500

This is a lucid, authoritative and well-balanced account of Anglo-Saxon history. Peter Hunter Blair's book has achieved classic status, and is published now with a new, up-to-date bibliography prepared by Simon Keynes. Between the end of the Roman occupation and the coming of the Normans, England was settled by Germanic races; the kingdom as a political unit was created, heathenism yielded to a vigorous Christian Church, superb works of art were made, and the English language - spoken and written - took its form. These origins of the English heritage are Hunter Blair's subject. The first two chapters survey Anglo-Saxon England: its wars, its invaders, its peoples and its kings. The remaining chapters deal with specific aspects of its culture: its Church, government, economy and literary achievement. Throughout the author uses illustrations and a wide range of sources - documents, archaeological evidence and place names - to illuminate the period as a whole.

Introduction The information in this book has been researched and accumulated over a period of many years. You hold in your hands, one of the most important books I have ever compiled. The Anglo-Saxtons have been given a unfortunate bad opinion about their Race. Let's, begin with the truth. The Bible, Egyptians and Romans all had Slaves before the Anglo-Saxons came into existence. Their Empire started in the Dark Ages. They were basically many Northern Tribes living in Caves. They eventually evolved into the most Powerful and greatest Country on Earth. They were wise enough to adopt Christianity as their core Religionist belief of love and compassion. They had the opportunity to believe in Judaism, Islam, Buddhism or many other ideologies. They chose Christianity because Jesus made more sense to them. The Anglo-Saxtons fought many Wars between other ethnic groups. They conquered them and established Colonies around the World. Eventually they ended Colonization and let other Races control their own destiny. By no means the people in this book are the only outstanding achievers, they are the lucky few I chose to put in this book. When history of a people is portrayed as insignificant, history may mean very little to them. When role models of their likeness are presented in a positive way, it will decrease resentment and inferiority or superiority from being breaded into them. When a people discovers positive contributions that their forebears contributed to Society, it gives hope and pride to them. Blacks has made tremendous advancements, and have the same opportunities as Whites to get a good education and achieve what their dream desires at this time in the United States. This is a new United States of America with freedom loving people from all over the World living in peace and harmony together. America finally realized everyone should have the opportunity to participate, compete and flourish in this Nation. There is hope to achieve success and wealth if you work hard and live by the Rules of this Society no matter where your roots began. The time has come for me to give recognition to all people (especially White Anglo-Saxon people), who sacrificed their lives and Political Careers helping Black people when they could not help themselves. Those White people are the "forgotten heroes." Therefore, they will be recognized in this history book. Blacks must never forget that there have always been good decent Americans who wanted to do the right thing in the first place, regardless of race, creed or color. Finally, we must began to realize we all are human beings want the pursuit of freedom and happiness. Last but not least, I love America and it is the greatest Country on Earth. Therlee Gipson

The seven centuries of the Anglo-Saxon period in England, roughly AD 400-1100, were a time of extraordinary and profound transformation in almost every aspect of its culture, culminating in a dramatic shift from a barbarian society to a recognizably medieval civilization. This book traces the changing nature of that art, the different roles it played in Anglo-Saxon culture, and the various ways it both reflected and influenced the changing context in which it was created.
