	The Anglo-Saxons and the origins of<br>the English people 410 - 865

		King Aelfwald of East Anglia wrote to St Boniface and stated that there were at least seven minsters in his kingdom at this time, and these are likely to have included Dunwich, Elmham and Bedericsworth.

	Essay on Havelok the Dane
		The Legend of Havelok the Dane and the Historiography of East Anglia
		Whether this amounts to a refutation of Danish rights in East Anglia or not probably requires a broader study of Langtoft’s Chronicle, but it is notable that Castleford’s Chronicle, the other northern exemplar of the Havelok-legend, likewise accuses “Birkebaine’s son” of dwelling in Mercia and Lindsey illegally.
		Turville-Petre suggests that the story is an answer by the Anglo-Scandinavian population of East Anglia to the overwhelmingly negative representation of the Danes in the Anglo-Norman chronicle-tradition.

		I argued that these concerns may have derived from the genealogical traditions of an Old English royal family which claimed descent from the Scyldings, and that a clue as to the identity of that family might be found in some of the surviving OE royal genealogies....
		The proposal is then as follows: through a consideration of the relation of Beowulf to surviving Anglo-Saxon royal pedigrees, East Anglia emerges as the kingdom most likely to have fostered the poem's prominent Danish dynastic concerns....
		Since I am essentially sympathetic to the main lines of the argument of the book, I am less bothered than other scholars might be with the way in which Newton constructs quite lengthy sequences of argument that depend again and again on possibilities rather than certitudes.

		The royal line of East Anglia, Newton reasons, traced its eponym 'Wuffa' and its foundation legend to Hroðgar's younger son Hroðmund, and through Wealhþeow his mother to the Wulfings of Beowulf.
		Once again, the weight of persuasion seems to have shifted to the earlier, eighth-century date for Beowulf's composition, and East Anglia (as Newton presents the case) appears the likeliest spot for its shaping.

	Introduction to the Old English poem called BEOWULF
		In sum, the historical allusions in the poem, with the exception of that of Hygelac, seem largely insufficient as a basis for any sound dating of the text.
		Fulk's important work (1992), however, shows that there is a large number of Anglian morphological characteristics, which are mainly absent from poetry known to origin in the south, which is found in poems usually thought to be Anglian--and in Beowulf.
		Whatever the date of the poem, the language favours an Anglian provenance, and the evidence slightly favours an origin in the Midlands--in Mercia or East Anglia (see Sam Newton 1993 on the latter)--than Northumbria, despite an early academic preference for a Northumbrian origin.
