People speak of Old English, but it was Old German dialect. The Anglo-Saxsons spoke one of the many Old German Dialects that was spoke in those days. German as we know it today did not exist, let alone anything English. Anyway, that's my understanding
I have just found this awesome poster, this poster shows our early English heroes from the 'Adventus Saxonum'499 AD and warband leaders Hengist and Horsa, through to King Harold and Hereward 'the Wake' ,all depicted against the backdrop of a dramatic cliff side setting. and below a corresponding description, Little has been done to make ourselves or our children proud of our own English heroes.This poster puts that right at last. you can get it at wyrdart (.) co (.) uk <remove brackets.
What an excellent documentary!!!
