Anglo Saxon Society

Anglo-Saxon is the term usually used to describe the invading tribes in the south and east of Great Britain from the early 5th century AD to the Norman conquest of 1066. The Benedictine monk, Bede, identified them as the descendants of three Germanic tribes.

Migration of Germanic peoples to Britain from what is now northern Germany and southern Scandinavia is attested from the 5th century.

Early Anglo-Saxon buildings in Britain were generally simple, constructed mainly using timber with thatch for roofing.

Old English, sometimes called Anglo-Saxon, was the language spoken under Alfred the Great and continued to be the common language of England until after the Norman Conquest of 1066 when, under the influence of the Anglo-Norman language spoken by the Norman ruling class, it changed into Middle English roughly between 1150–1500.

Very few law codes exist from the Anglo-Saxon period to provide an insight into legal culture beyond the influence of Roman law and how this legal culture developed over the course of time. The Anglo-Saxon period is important for the understanding of contemporary developments. This period saw legislative or judicial assemblies called gemots.

that there were not a lot of laws to fallow there were just codes.
