Religion in
Anglo-Saxon England
The Anglo-Saxons were a compilation of different Germanic tribes from Northwest Europe. As such, they shared many of their belief structures with the pagan Old Norse religions. During the time of the Sutton Hoo Stories, many efforts were being made by the Roman Catholic Church to re-introduce Christianity to the British Isles. Please see the links below for more information on religion during this period.
King Rædwald and the Wuffingas Dynasty
The people in the Sutton Hoo stories were, by and large, factual. For more information about King Rædwald of East Anglia and the Wuffingas dynasty, click here.
Old English
The language of the Anglo-Saxons would be almost unintelligible to modern English speakers, but it is a rich and beautiful language nonetheless. Throughout the Sutton Hoo Stories, there are several Old English words. See the links below for more information and for a convenient translator.
