I bet you think metal is cool still too

We don't really know anything about the religion of the Anglo-Saxons. Almost everything we 'know' is based on inferences from related peoples.

What a barbed comment

Like I said, I'm asking for my grandad, he's a good man of impeccable taste.

I remember this TV mini series being pretty good
1066: The Battle for Middle Earth
imdb.com/title/tt1329539/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_4
Has Ian Holm (Bilbo) on narration so his voice is pretty comfy

I'm aware my man, but surely there must be something set in the Aenglisc realm.

Ironclad but it's not about Saxons.

Thanks pal!
I've heard of this many times, I'll give it a look, ta!

Not a movie but the Last Kingdom is being sold pretty cheaply on Amazon.

I watched the trailer, is this GoT style or accurate? I almost had a brain aneurysm from the Beowulf animated film and recent diverse LGBT adaptation

>the Beowulf animated film and recent diverse LGBT adaptation
U FUCKING WOT M8?

it's not good

>is this GoT style or accurate
Well there's no dragons, or gratuitous sex if that's what you mean. I'm no expert on the Anglo-Saxon period but I haven't seen anything in season 1 that stretches my suspension of disbelief. This is the BBC though so that may change.

King Æthelstan is played by a Muslim because his name has "stan" in it.

the beowulf show had the worst production design i've ever seen, plus half the danes and geats are played by black/indian actors which is just silly imo, Sup Forums aside

Not featured: sassy strong chinese womyn and hordes of brown and black Swedish villagers and warrior womyn

Also the animated movie was pretty garbage tier, butchered the plot of the book and had PS2 graphics (also had Angelina Jolie as Grendel's mother for some reason)

No you are correct, Sup Forums aside it is ridiculous. Even historians in this country have come out and said that this is lies and needs to stop.

But BBC gonna big black cock I suppose.

Oh Good lord you can just see the homosex right there.

...

Ah, the great and mighty Anglo Saxon mythological warrior queen, Gujhurta Rashid

It actually has some sort of basis in history, but pushes it to a very unrealistic degree.

what am i looking at here

thats been debunked

>We're erasing your people's very history and literally brainwashing your children and if you don't like it you're a neckbeard

Where?

Booker and Nobel prize-winning novelist V.S. Naipaul said: ‘Once again political correctness is distorting our history and the education of our children.’

And historian Sir Roy Strong, author of The Story Of Britain, said: ‘This stands history on its head, projecting back on to the past something that isn’t true.’

Professor Alan Smithers, of Buckingham University, a specialist adviser to the Commons Education Committee, said: ‘This seems to be aimed more at indoctrination than education. It is dangerous because a cohesive society depends on an authentic shared view of history.’

And Campaign for Real Education chairman Chris McGovern said: ‘The country is being sold down the river by the politically correct brigade and national identity sacrificed for minority groups to feel included. It’s pro-immigration propaganda.’

The wh*te race

That's literally bullshit made up by a Swedish feminist in order to, by her own admission, question and redefine the Swedish history.

Watch the first few minutes of this and undo the brainwashing

Norse and Anglo, Saxon paganism are very similar. The names are different, like Woden vs Othin, but that's about it. It's the same Indo-European shit.

Oim English m8, try again

You could watch the beowulf and grendel with Gerard Butler, there is also the animated movie which has a bit more action in it.

This is so depressing
fuck this gay island

Saxon population wasn't that high, they ruled over Celts and phased out the Celtic Gods around England, each Saxon leader during the Heptarchy didn't really focus on religion, it was more about maintaining order and defending each Kingdom from being annexed. Until Wessex went batshit insane and started clay grabbing. Then it was education reforms (allowing poor people to learn to read and write), building trade ports between Wales and Cornwall and building up military to defend from further Viking raids. Of course this all ended once William arrived and started butchering them all.

Okay thank you.

Thanks user! That was interesting to read

At least they are refuting it, unlike in some nations where they allow this shit to happen unchallenged and unhinged. We might be gay, but we're not TURBOMEGAAIDSGAY.

They had religion before migrating to Britain.

You know they're going to start actually editing museums though, Britain has a nasty habit of seizing certain key esoteric historical books and banning their print as well, for example a book in the British archives focussing on ritual sacrifice by Jews in some Eastern European town
They're already teaching English children Emperor Hadrian was black, and we wuz Normans n Romans n shieet

What I posted has nothing to do with Africans or Bongs.

Give me an objective study, not shit made by an ideological slave.

That there was contact between Muslim societies and Vikings (and/or northern yuros in general) has been known for a trillion years; there have been books and movies about this before and literally nobody cared. It hasn't been an issue until our fabulous modern times in which alt-right became a thing and retards completely lost their minds to paranoia, and nu-left retards completely lost their minds to destroying plurality and distorting history for the sake of "diversity".
Hermetically sealed societies have never been a thing, that's what's bullshit. And a society not being hermetically sealed did not mean that half of it was made up of people from completely different parts of the world and cultures, that's also what's bullshit. Viking-Arab contact is not.

Yes they did but it wasn't their main concern, the local populations largely stayed out of their affairs, only to trade, Saxons were gud bois who dindu nuffin and protected us from the Great Heathen Army.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Heathen_Army

Hadrian wasn't black?

The celts were majority christian by then though.

...

They were Muslim you disgusting bigot.

I thought Saxons went to Constantinople? I can't remember, someone ITT should know what I'm on about.

REMOVE ANGLOS remove saxons
you are worst germanic. you are the germanic idiot you are the germanic smell. return to saxony. to our breton or asturian cousins you may come our contry. you may live wessex….ahahahaha ,jutes we will never forgeve you. germanic rascal FUck but fuck asshole saxons stink ðæt, thorn wynn and runes..Mount Badon best day of my life.

1) Wessex started clay grabbing because at that point better be ruled by a saxon than be under the danelaw. Last proud english kingdom that started a sort of reconquista, if you wish
2) After a while, Irish missionaries converted everybody to the neo-jewish meme

After the conquest a bunch of dispossessed Anglo Saxon noblemen went East and joined the Varangian guard. Ironically enough in past ages it had mostly been made up of Vikings. There's a legend about an Anglo Saxon colony in the Crimea as well.
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_England_(medieval)

Viking - Arab trade is well accepted, as likely were Viking envoys in the arab world, you forget yourself by placing "alt righters" in a neat box of paranoid schizos. Affrontation at the obviously delusional attempt to shoehorn Islam into Swedish history as anything other than a trade partner is retarded, as you say, but can you blame the alt right for getting worked up about this? The same institutions, 'historians' and media that pushed this are the same ones advocating for the ethnic replacement of the native population, and are the same ones telling children their culture and history has always been full of Syrian and African refugees. No one is denying Viking Arab contact, you loon.

The 13th Warrior.

This was good in my opinion, its a bit low budget but the Lone Viking on the Bridge scene was great.

The animated Beowulf film which I'm sure you are aware of is very good too and the Last Kingdom is okay too even though its not particularly accurate its still fun.

There still exists today a whole district of Rome named after the Saxons as exiles also went there.

This bullshit triggers me tbqh.

Genetic studies have shown that Anglo Saxons were just Celts LARPing

Why the fuck do some people Hadrian was black why is this a thing?

LotR.

^Think

If by LARPING you mean invading, setting yourselves up as overlords and overtime the natives adopt your culture and intermarry then yes.
