The variety of local Britons, and their function, in Anglo-Saxon England has been hotly debated for generations; the English have been obvious as Germanic within the 19th century, however the 20th observed a reinvention of the German 'past'. this day, the scholarly neighborhood is as deeply divided as ever at the factor: place-name experts have continuously most popular minimalist interpretations, privileging migration from Germany, whereas different disciplinary teams were much less united of their perspectives, with many archaeologists and historians viewing the British presence, in all likelihood at the least, as numerically major or maybe dominant. The papers accrued the following search to shed new mild in this complicated factor, by means of bringing jointly contributions from various disciplinary experts and exploring the interfaces among a variety of different types of data concerning the prior. They gather either a considerable physique of facts about the presence of Britons and provide a number of techniques to the valuable problems with the size of that presence and its importance around the seven centuries of Anglo-Saxon England. participants: RICHARD COATES, MARTIN GRIMMER, HEINRICH HARKE, NICK HIGHAM, CATHERINE HILLS, LLOYD LAING, C.

It is relatively easy to trace attitudes to Anglo-Saxons from the fifth century to the twentieth,31 and to work out how and why Bede, Geoffrey of Monmouth, Matthew Parker, even J. N. L. Myres, and all the rest saw them differently.
