	History of Anglo-Saxon England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The History of Anglo-Saxon England covers the history of early medieval England from the end of Roman Britain and the establishment of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in the 5th century until the Conquest by the Normans in 1066.
		However, England was not a certainty, and indeed under Athelstan's successors Edmund, Eadred and Edwy the kingdom broke up and was reformed numerous times.
		Interestingly, Anglo-Saxon England was probably the most 'developed' kingdom of the period; one has only to look at the way coinage was managed in the period to realise that 10th century Anglo-Saxon kings wielded far greater royal authority than their European counterparts.

	STEVENSON: Ephraim the Syrian in Anglo-Saxon England
		But despite all this, there is one father of the Syrian church who was known in England, both by name, and for his actual work; it was, of course, St. Ephraim, the only early Syriac church father to have some of his works translated into Greek, and from Greek, into Latin.
		The idea that Ephraim's work might have influenced the literary culture of Anglo-Saxon England was first raised with respect to vernacular Anglo-Saxon literature, which is also, of course, the area in which the influence of texts which originated in so different a language is hardest to demonstrate.
		He instructed clerics and monks throughout England in their chosen way of life, introduced the knowledge of sacred music to English churches, and consecrated bishops wherever this was appropriate.

		Another type of outer garment possibly worn by the early Germanic settlers is the hooded robe, known to modern scholars as the 'Gallic coat'.
		These are usually referred to as the Anglian, Saxon and Kentish or Jutish styles (and certainly their distribution coincides with Bede's description of which people settled where.

	Magic and Medicine in Anglo-Saxon England
		Knowledge for the treatment of illness by practitioners of medicine in England was as advanced as in any other part of the Western world due to the inheritance of the texts of classical Graeco-Roman medical tradition which had not evolved and was still practiced (Grattan 4).

		As a result, many mistakes are made in classifying the plants of England as belonging to the same species as in Italy.

	Writing: A Revolution in Saxon England
		The Saxon tradition was a proud one, one that had many wonderful epics and songs.
		The Saxons moved around a lot--being on the run from the Huns and the Picts and the Briton hit-and-run squads--and they didn't have much call for lugging around implements for writing things down.
		The conquered Celts may very well have wanted to continue to write things down, but the conquering Saxons were likely to confiscate such writings and watch them go up in flames, much like the villages they laid waste in their drive west and north.
