	Old English language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Old English (also called Anglo-Saxon) is an early form of the English language that was spoken in parts of what is now England and southern Scotland between the mid-fifth century and the mid-twelfth century.
		Old English was not static, and its usage covered a period of approximately 700 years – from the Anglo-Saxon migrations which created England in the fifth century to some time after the Norman invasion of 1066, after which the language underwent a major and dramatic transition.
		Old English was at first written in runes (futhorc), but shifted to the Latin alphabet with some additions: the letter yogh, adopted from Irish; the letter eth and the runic letters thorn and wynn.

		Soon after the arrival of Christianity in the Saxon parts of Britain in 597, however, King Aethelbert of Kent built the first St. Paul's Cathedral within the Ludgate, supposedly replacing a pagan Saxon temple.

	Christian Heroism and the West Saxon Achievement: The Old English Poetic Evidence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The heroism of the latest Old English poems, those commemorating current events of the tenth-century conflict against the heathen Vikings, is suffused with an aura of Christian martial piety which plainly foreshadows that of the age of the crusades commencing a century later.
		He argues that old Germanic heroic concepts were at first imported wholesale into Christian poetic expression but gradually lost their significance and were rejected, eventually to fade from use in Christian poetry even as convenient poetic devices.
		It remains to discuss briefly the epic masterpiece of Old English poetry in the specific context of the tenth century and the proposed argument that the Alfredians and their successors sought to provide models of Christian heroism to serve as examples in the expansion of Wessex and the consolidation of England.
