The Anglo-Saxons (n.) 盎格魯-撒克遜（Anglo-Saxon） 是個統稱，通常用來形容5世紀初到1066年諾曼征服之間，生活於大不列顛東部和南部地區，語言和種族相近的民族。[1] 他們使用非常近似的日耳曼方言，歷史學家比德認為其是三個強大日耳曼部族－源自日德蘭半島的盎格魯人和朱特人、以及來自之後稱作下薩克森地區的撒克遜人的後裔。盎格魯人有可能來自盎格恩半島，比德描述他們的整個國家都來到了不列顛，留下他們空空的古老大地。[2] 地名顯示出一些其他的日耳曼民族曾經來到：弗里斯蘭人在 弗蘭斯漢（Fresham）、弗瑞斯頓（Freston）和弗理斯頓（Friston）；佛蘭芒人在佛蘭普頓（Flemptom）和佛林比（Flimby）；士瓦本人在士瓦弗漢（Swaffham）；或許法蘭克人在法蘭克頓（Frankton）和法蘭克雷（Frankley）。可能在麥西亞國王奧發（755年-759年在位），或是阿佛列大帝（871年-886年在位）與他的繼承者之下，盎格魯-撒克遜的數個王國陸續建立。在艾塞斯坦（924年-937年在位）統治下，盎格魯-撒克遜王國形成英格蘭。Were a people who inhabited Great Britain from the 5th century. They comprise people from Germanic tribes who migrated to the island from continental Europe, their descendants, and indigenous British groups who adopted some aspects of Anglo-Saxon culture and language. Historically, the Anglo-Saxon period denotes the period in Britain between about 450 and 1066, after their initial settlement and up until the Norman conquest. [1] The early Anglo-Saxon period includes the creation of an English nation, with many of the aspects that survive today, including regional government of shires and hundreds. During this period, Christianity was established and there was a flowering of literature and language. Charters and law were also established. [2] The term Anglo-Saxon is popularly used for the language that was spoken and written by the Anglo-Saxons in England and eastern Scotland between at least the mid-5th century and the mid-12th century. In scholarly use, it is more commonly called Old English. [3]
The history of the Anglo-Saxons is the history of a cultural identity. It developed from divergent groups in association with the people's adoption of Christianity, and was integral to the establishment of various kingdoms. Threatened by extended Danish invasions and military occupation of eastern England, this identity was re-established; it dominated until after the Norman Conquest. [4] The visible Anglo-Saxon culture can be seen in the material culture of buildings, dress styles, illuminated texts and grave goods. Behind the symbolic nature of these cultural emblems, there are strong elements of tribal and lordship ties. The elite declared themselves as kings who developed burhs, and identified their roles and peoples in Biblical terms. Above all, as Helena Hamerow has observed, "local and extended kin groups remained...the essential unit of production throughout the Anglo-Saxon period." [5] The effects persist in the 21st century as, according to a study published in March 2015, the genetic makeup of British populations today shows divisions of the tribal political units of the early Anglo-Saxon period. [6]
Use of the term Anglo-Saxon assumes that the words Angles, Saxons or Anglo-Saxon have the same meaning in all the sources. This term began to be used only in the 8th century to distinguish "Germanic" groups in Britain from those on the continent (Old Saxony in Northern Germany). [7] [a] Catherine Hills summarised the views of many modern scholars in her observation that attitudes towards Anglo-Saxons, and hence the interpretation of their culture and history, have been "more contingent on contemporary political and religious theology as on any kind of evidence."
