Extractions: Medieval England Steven Muhlberger Let's begin with some basic terminology. Many names we use in the course are deceptively familiar. Just as it is difficult to understand British English without practice (British "subway" = our "underpass"), British geography and ethnography the names of the peoples who live or have lived there takes some getting use to. Britain, the Britons The Romans called the biggest of the two islands NW of Gaul the country we know as France Brittania. The people who lived in the Roman ruled part of the island were called Britons (by the Romans!). This was a general name, because the Britons were divided up into a number of peoples and tribes. Confusion is possible because the name of Britain is applied to the modern United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland , and the citizens of that country are often called Britons. Scotland, the Scots To the north of Roman-ruled Britain was a country called Caledonia , roughly equivalent to modern Scotland. At this time there were no Scots in Scotland . They still lived in Ireland (then called Scotia or Hibernia ). Caledonia was inhabited by the

Extractions: Anglo-Saxon England A Guide to Online Resources Section Editor: Brad Bedingfield, Tokyo Metropolitan University Introduction by Stuart Lee, Oxford University Computing Services This section of the On-Line Reference Book for Medieval Studies concentrates on the period of English history dating from the mid-fifth century to the mid-eleventh century. As with all dating in the medieval period these chronological boundaries are open to question. The starting date represents the beginning of the Anglo-Saxon invasions, i.e. the invasion/migration of the tribes termed the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes from the northern part of modern Germany to the island of Britain . Similarly, the end-date of the mid-eleventh century centres on the Battle of Hastings (14th October, 1066) which saw the defeat of Harold Godwineson , the last Saxon king, at the hands of William the Conqueror thus transferring control of England to the Normans. Yet this simple cut-off date blurs historical reality. Although Saxon resistance to the Normans post-Hastings was ineffectual, their language did survive developing (influenced, of course, by Norman French) into Middle English (the language of Chaucer).

They will tell you that the Celts spoke a language of their own, of which Cornish, Welsh, Breton, Manx, Irish and Scottish Gaelic are the modern descendants of the original Celtic languages. They will tell you that the Celtic languages form two major groups, the Brythonic , or those found primarily in BritainCornish, Welsh, and Breton (the latter because of emigration across the English Channeland Gaelic those primarily found in Ireland and Scotland.

It gives clear evidence that God has always acted in supernatural ways to advance the cause of His Kingdom on the earth.

Extractions: The Anglo-Saxon Invasion of Britain In 410 A.D. the Roman legions were recalled to Rome to defend it against barbarian attacks, and Britain was left to fend for itself. (The rulers of Britain after 410 are referred to as 'tyrants' because their authority had no legitimacy in Roman Eyes.) Having no armies left the British people were left open to attack from the Picts (probably by sea down the east coast, for the Picts are described in one Late Roman source as a sea-going people - just like the Saxons). With this situation we find the following: Ships of the type used by the early Anglo-Saxon settlers/invaders. This account of the migrations from Germany, following the collapse of the Roman Empire, is taken from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, and is how the later Anglo-Saxons saw the first arrival of their people. Since then, until quite recently, it has remained the accepted view of what happened. However, recent researches have shown it to be wrong in almost every detail It is even uncertain whether Hengest and Horsa existed, or whether they were actually the same

Extractions: CHAPTER SIX Anglo-Saxon Britain When the Angles, Saxons and Jutes came to Britain in the 4th century AD, they found a well populated, well cultivated land but with a serious problem - the Legions, long its protectors, had gone. The Picts and Scots were over The Wall and ravaging Northern England. Tradition has it that the first Angle chiefs to arrive from Northern Germany and Jutland were called Hengist and Horsa. At first they came as pirates, looted and burned, fought with the Celts and went back to Northern Germany. However as time progressed more and more Anglo-Saxons (and Jutes!) started to settle, mostly in South Eastern England. From the Angles name comes England's name "Aengland" becoming in time - England. The Celtic-British, now Romanised and a lot less warlike after four centuries of Roman occupation, fought back as best they could under the semi-legendary Artorius. The Celts won many battles but in the end, the constant waves of new Anglo-Saxon invaders, drove the Celts into Wales, Scotland and South-West England (reputed home of "Camelot"). The Anglo-Saxons in their turn started to settle and though pagans when they arrived soon became Christianised. Woden (similar to Odin - the Norse deity), was deserted for the new found Christ. Anglo Saxon churches are still a feature of many parts of Britain.

Extractions: Historical Notes When Julius Caesar invaded Great Britain in 55 B.C., he found a country populated by that mysterious people we call the Celts. In all of the history which follows, we see these Celts being driven back by various European invaders, so that today their language survives in Wales and in the Gaelic of Scotland and Ireland. (In one of history's small ironies, the Celts of Cornwall were pushed back across the English Channel and reintroduced their Celtic language, Breton - from "Britannia" - still spoken today, into a country which had already been latinized.) Julius Caesar invaded Great Britain ("veni, vidi, vici") but withdrew with his legions. The occupation of the country which the Romans called Britannia had to wait nearly 90 years; it took place in 43 A.D. under the Emperor Claudius and lasted until 410 A.D. when, with the western Empire on the verge of collapse, the last legions were withdrawn. This "association", lasting nearly four centuries, left surprisingly few signs either of a linguistic nature (the people continued to speak Celtic with a few Latin borrowings), or of an architectural nature (though Hadrian left his famous wall, built to protect the domesticated Celts from the Picts and Scots, their fiercer cousins to the north and west). After the withdrawal of the legions, the British Celts, no longer accustomed to caring for their own defence, were again threatened by the Picts and Scots, and 30 years after the departure of the last of the Romans, they called for the help of the "Saxons" of northern Germany. There began an influx of

Extractions: Introduction The spectacular advance of English ,'icross the face of the globe is a phenomenon without parallel in the history of language. Observe a German tourist talking to a Japanese shopkeeper in Tokyo, or an African diplomat to his counterpart from Asia, and the medium of communication will almost certainly be English. Though the French and the Rtissians may sharply disagree, English is already well on its way to becoming the unofficial international language of the world community. English is the principal language of the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, Australia. New Zealand, and of such newly independent countries as the Bahamas, Jamaica, Barbados, Grenada, Trinidad and Tobago, and Guyana. It is the official language of more than a dozen African countries, as well as of various British depen-dencies such as British Honduras, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, and numerous islands in the Caribbean, and the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans. In India it has the title of "associate official language" and is generally used in conversation between people from different parts of the country. In dozens of other countries throughout the world it is the unofficial second language. All told, English is the mother tongue of about 300 million people, making it second only to Chinese in this regard. But the number of people who speak English with at least some degree of proficiency totals many millions more and, unlike Chinese, extends to every corner of the globe.

Extractions: History of the English Language back to assignment "By ethnic origin the English are a mongrel breed. Their language is polyglot, drawn from a variety of sources, and its vocabulary has been augmented by importations from all over the world. The English language does not identify the English, for it is the main language of Wales, Scotland, Ireland, many Commonwealth countries, and the United States. The primary source of the language, however, is the main ethnic stem of the English, the Anglo-Saxons, who invaded and colonized England in the 5th and 6th centuries. Their language provides about half the words in modern English vocabulary." From Encylopedia Britannica Indo-European Roots The steppe of Eastern Europe and Central Asia has served as at highway for the spread of language. Nomadic peoples could easily move across these relatively flat grasslands with their horses and cattle. Many people think that the roots of the English language, and many others, come from these Indo-European peoples. Map from: http://www.friesian.com/upan.htm
