Is the culture of Britain predominantly Saxon or Briton?
>>1291409
Culturally? Norman.
Ethnically Briton with a large Saxon minority.
>>1291409
Saxon. If they were Briton they would be Catholic like the Irish and would not be speaking English.
>>1291409
What language are we speaking?
>>1291462
>putting Protestant over a helmet used by people who were Catholic
In the 21st century? American and Muslim.
The culture is predominantly Anglo-Norman.
>>1291471
Not all Catholics are Roman.
>>1291471
Calling Anglo-Saxons Catholic is almost like calling the English Catholic.
>>1291471
That helmet belonged to a pagan
>>1291489
Most likely to a Christian convert actually.
People think it is Raewalds helmet.

>implying Raedwald wasn't the first kingle of the East Angles convert
>>1291493
Rædwald was the last pagan king of East Anglia
>>1291489
Not necessarily, Botolph's monastery in the vicinity of Sutton Hoo was founded in 654 and this is around the same time that the artifacts are dated. It is entirely possible its owner loved Jesus.
>>1291499
;^)
>>1291502
Yeah, also the first Christian one.
>>1291513
That's 30 years after Rædwald died.
>>1291519
Bede called him an apostate, he also kept pagan temples open and had a pagan burial.
The helmet also is full of pagan symbolism
>>1291520
Yes and Christianity had obviously already found footing in Anglia if they were building a monastery.
>>1291523
Symbols are public property.
What are even the differences between tribal island celts and german tribals? Culturally the britons made some briton-roman shit with Christianity and latin script that the saxons adopted when they invaded
>>1291548
Our haplotypes...
>>1291409
Saxons were in Germany stupid, not England.
